Severance star Adam Scott and director Ben Stiller break down one key scene from the season 2 premiere, explaining how Tom Cruise influenced it and why it took five months to film. Created by Dan Erickson, the hit Apple TV+ mystery series stars Scott as Mark, an employee at Lumon Industries who has had his work memories surgically separated from his personal memories. Severance season 2 reviews have been glowing from critics, and season 2 starts with a bang, following Mark as he sprints through the Lumon hallways in search of Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman), his outie’s wife.
During an episode of The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott (via GamesRadar+), the two creatives break down this energetic start to season 2. Scott explains that this minutes-long running sequence was shot in fits and starts over the course of five months due to set considerations and the technology required. Check out his comment below:
