The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott is a companion podcast to the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Apple TV+ workplace thriller series.
From Audacy Podcasts, in partnership with Red Hour and Great Scott, the series is an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown of the award-winning show, conducted with the creators, cast, crew, and fans.
Severance director and executive producer Ben Stiller and star/executive producer Adam Scott rewatched season one, ahead of the series’ highly anticipated return, to share in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, and then provide weekly insights throughout season two.
Stiller and Scott will be joined by guests including Severance editor Geoffrey Richman and superfans Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Severance star Tramell Tillman (Milchick) will join as a guest in season two.
Previously announced guests include Severance creator Dan Erickson, producer Jackie Cohn, and stars Zach Cherry (Dylan), John Turturro (Irving), and Britt Lower (Helly), and superfan Jon Stewart.
Severance is set at Lumon Industries, a company whose employees have undergone a medical procedure which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives.
Mark (Scott) leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. They begin a journey to discover the truth about their jobs–and themselves.
Ben Stiller and Adam Scott said: “We have severed ourselves from the world for five years making this show.
“While we have no memory of what happened during that time, we thought we should do a podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching, in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show.
“We’re happy not to be working with Lumon Industries on this podcast and instead to be bringing it to the world with Audacy Podcasts, who would never send us to the break room.”
Jenna Weiss-Berman, EVP, Audacy Podcasts added: “Severance fans are in for a huge treat as Ben, Adam, and their outstanding guests go deep inside Lumon and behind-the-scenes of the making of the show and its many fascinating storylines. We look forward to an incredible two seasons.”
