Summary
WithSeveranceseason two just around the corner, series director and executive producer Ben Stiller and star Adam Scott will be teaming up to co-host a new companion podcast through Audacy in a bid to give fans a deeper look into some of the show’s mysteries.Severancebecame a massive hit forApple TV+when it was released in 2022, earning itself a score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as receiving 14 nominations at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards. The somewhat weird yet deeply compelling sci-fi series is created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller and tells the story of office workers who take part in a procedure where they separate their non-work memories from their work memories. Naturally, things aren’t as simple when a corporation messes around with brains and chaos erupts when the group’s worlds collide.
The main plot focuses on Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a former history professor whose “outie” is grieving the death of his wife, but viewers also see how this “medical” operation pans out for others like Helly Riggs and Dylan, who finally start to figure out that their employer, Lumon Industries, is up to something more sinister than they ever imagined.
