The Lumon offices appear to have moved to New York City. Leading stars of Apple TV’s Severance appeared for a bit of performance art at the Big Apple’s Grand Central Station on Tuesday.
Adam Scott, Britt Lower and Zach Cherry all appeared as their Severance characters for the event, with producer-director Ben Stiller on hand to take pictures. The pop-up featured a real-life cubicle from the iconic office space of Apple’s show, which returns with season two on Friday.
The actors passed time cleaning the office’s carpets and working on their characters’ mysterious computers for the performance, which appeared to have lasted several minutes. Stiller posted several images from the scene to his social media, writing, “Grand Central right now.”
Season two of Severance will premiere on Friday, nearly two years after 2022’s season one. Season one ended on a cliffhanger, when Mark S. and his colleagues learned shocking details about the people they are outside of work. Per Apple, season two will see “Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.”
In addition to Scott, Lower and Cherry, the show also stars John Turturro, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette. Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson join the cast for the second installment.
Dan Erickson created Severance and executive produces with Stiller (who directed five episodes in season two), John Lesher, Jackie Cohn, Mark Friedman, Beau Willimon, Jordan Tappis, Sam Donovan, Caroline Baron, Richard Schwartz, Nicholas Weinstock, Scott and Arquette. Fifth Season is the studio. Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné also directed episodes of season two.
