Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The AppleTV+ hit series Servant debuted last year with a mysterious plot that kept viewers freaked out and on the edge of their seats. With a cliffhanger ending, everyone was left wondering what the hell was going on. Now, the second season is finally here with more unsettling chapters in the tale of a couple, their nanny, and the baby named Jericho. Starring Toby Kebell, Lauren Ambrose, Rupert Grint, and Nell Tiger Free, Servant was created by Tony Basgallop and M. Night Shyamalan, Apple gave the series an early third season renewal which means the freaky story will continue beyond this season. 

The official synopsis:

Following its suspenseful season one finale, the second season of Servant takes a supernatural turn. As Leanne returns to the brownstone and her true nature is revealed, a darker future for all lies ahead.
