A Record-Breaking Phenomenon
Season two of Severance quickly became Apple TV+’s most-watched series to date, reaffirming its status as a cultural juggernaut. The show continues to receive widespread acclaim, often hailed as “one of the best TV shows of the past decade.”
Created by Dan Erickson and directed by executive producer Ben Stiller, Severance stars an all-star cast including Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, Patricia Arquette, and Christopher Walken.
Behind the Scenes: Cast and Crew Reactions
Executive producer and director Ben Stiller expressed his excitement—albeit humorously nodding to the show’s unique concept of memory separation:
“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of. While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”
Star and executive producer Adam Scott shared his enthusiasm:
“I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work… not a huge deal, but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him.”
Creator Dan Erickson added:
“Getting to make more Severance with the greatest cast and crew on Earth is more thrilling to me than all the world’s finger traps combined.”
What Is Severance?
Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), an employee at Lumon Industries who undergoes a procedure that surgically splits his memories between his work and personal life. As the story unfolds, the illusion of balance gives way to a haunting mystery that challenges the very nature of identity and autonomy.
Season two deepens the stakes, as Mark and his coworkers confront the serious consequences of pushing beyond the severance barrier. The new season also introduces cast additions Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
Accolades and Acclaim
Since its debut, Severance has been decorated with numerous awards and nominations. Season one alone earned:
- 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor
- 2 Emmy wins, including Outstanding Music Composition and Outstanding Main Title Design
- 2 Writers Guild of America Awards, for Best New Series and Best Drama Series
- SAG, PGA, and DGA nominations
The show also took home a Peabody Award and an AFI Award, cementing its place among the most revered modern TV dramas.
The Talent Behind the Curtain
Ben Stiller directed five episodes alongside Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan, and Jessica Lee Gagné this season. In addition to Erickson and Stiller, the executive producing team includes Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Jackie Cohn, John Lesher, and more. Fifth Season serves as the studio behind the series.
Where to Watch
The complete first and second seasons of Severance are available to stream globally on Apple TV+. With season three now officially confirmed, there’s never been a better time to dive into (or revisit) the eerie and enigmatic world of Lumon Industries.
