From writer, creator and executive producer Dan Erickson, Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a team leader at Lumon Industries whose employees have undergone a procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and home lives. This daring experiment in work-life balance is called into question when Mark finds himself at the center of a mystery that forces him to confront the true nature of his work... and himself.
In the ten-part second season, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of playing with the barrier, which leads them further down a path of misery.
In addition to Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette and Sarah Bock also star.
Severance is produced by Ben Stiller, who also directs five episodes this season, alongside directors Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné.
Season two is also produced by John Lesher, Jackie Cohn, Mark Friedman, Beau Willimon, Jordan Tappis, Sam Donovan, Caroline Baron, Richard Schwartz and Nicholas Weinstock. In addition to starring, Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette serve as executive producers. Fifth Season is the studio.
