Apple TV Plus announced that upcoming thriller series “Severance” will premiere with two episodes on Feb. 18, followed by new episodes weekly on Fridays.
The series stars Adam Scott as Mark Scout, who leads a team at Lumon Industries where employees’ work and personal lives are surgically divided. Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus and Christopher Walken also star.
“I have, of my own free accord, elected to undergo the procedure known as ‘severance,’” Mark and his employees say in the teaser, which you can watch below. “I give consent for the Lumon Corporation — and it’s a good corporation — to sever my memories between my work life and my personal life. I acknowledge that once the procedure is complete, I will be unable to access my personal memories whilst on Lumon’s severed floor. Nor will I retain work memories when I return home at the end of the day.”
Dan Erickson serves as writer and creator, who executive produces alongside Mark Friedman, Chris Black, John Cameron and Andrew Colville. Ben Stiller directs and executive produces through Red Hour Productions with Nicky Weinstock and Jackie Cohn. Arquette and Scott also produce. Endeavor Content serves as the studio.
