Director and executive producer Ben Stiller reunites with Academy and Emmy Award winner Patricia Arquette in this brand new series.
Apple TV+ has unveiled a teaser trailer and a premiere date for its highly anticipated new drama series, Severance, from director and executive producer Ben Stiller (Escape at Dannemora, Tropic Thunder), and creator Dan Erickson.
The series will launch globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on 18 February, 2022, followed by new weekly instalments, each Friday during its nine-episode season.
In Severance, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the centre of an unravelling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself. Â
