---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | "Good News About Hell" | Ben Stiller | Dan Erickson | February 18, 2022 | |
A woman wakes up in a conference room with no memory of who or where she is. After being given a survey and learning she is Helly, a new hire at Lumon Industries, she is allowed to leave but finds she is unable to do so. She then sees a video explaining that she has undergone the "severance" procedure, which bifurcated her memories to create a version of herself that will only exist inside the workplace. Mark Scout, who works alongside Helly in Lumon's Macrodata Refinement division, discovers he is being promoted to department head in light of coworker Petey's sudden departure. The "outside" version of Mark, a former history professor grieving his wife's death and living in the Lumon-subsidized town of Kier, encounters a man claiming to be Petey who gives him a letter with cryptic instructions. Mark returns home and interacts with his neighbor Mrs. Selvig, unaware that she is the "outside" version of his boss, Lumon senior manager Harmony Cobel. | |||||
2 | "Half Loop" | Ben Stiller | Dan Erickson | February 18, 2022 | |
The previous day, Helly undergoes the severance procedure as a new employee, implanting a microchip inside her brain. At the office, the severed Helly is introduced to her new coworkers, Dylan and Irving, and is instructed that her job is to sort encrypted numbers into digital bins as part of "macrodata refinement". During a welcome party headed by floor manager Milchick, Helly becomes uncomfortable and attempts to escape by writing her outside self (or "outie") a note of resignation, but the elevator shuts down, which Mark claims is due to Lumon's built-in "code detectors" which prevent unauthorized communication between selves. Mark claims responsibility and is put into the "break room" as punishment. Later, Irving hallucinates a black liquid covering his desk and is administered a "wellness check", where counselor Ms. Casey recites various facts about Irving's outie, with Irving forced to react neutrally. At the wellness center, Irving also meets Burt, the head of the two-person Optics and Design department. Outside, Mark once again meets with Petey, who explains that he has "reintegration sickness" from reversing his severance. Petey tells Mark of the break room and plays a recording of himself repeatedly reading out a stringent apology, with Milchick forcing him to repeat the lines. Mark gives Petey shelter in his house. As he is taking a shower, Petey suffers hallucinations and collapses. | |||||
3 | "In Perpetuity" | Ben Stiller | Andrew Colville | February 25, 2022 | |
Petey tells Mark that mysterious benefactors helped him undergo the reintegration procedure. While Mark is at work, his sister Devon and brother-in-law Ricken deliver a book authored by the latter to his doorstep, which Mrs. Selvig steals and takes to Lumon to check for hidden messages. As she searches Mark's house, Petey recognizes her as Cobel and flees the house, suffering more hallucinations and eventually collapsing at a convenience store. At the office, Helly learns her resignation request sent to her "outie" has been denied. Mark thwarts her various attempts to smuggle other messages to her outie. To help Helly understand why she is working at Lumon, Irving suggests they show her the office's Perpetuity Wing, which documents the history of Lumon's founder, Kier Eagan, and his succeeding dynasty. On the way to the Perpetuity Wing, Dylan rumors with the group of Optics and Design's failed "coup" years in the past, which Mark dismisses as fake. After attempting another escape, Helly is brought to the break room, where Milchick forces her to repeatedly recite an apologetic passage. After his shift, Mark follows ambulance traffic to the convenience store and witnesses Petey being carried away by paramedics after his breathing stops. Mark rushes home to remove evidence of Petey's stay, but is interrupted when Petey's abandoned cellphone rings. | |||||
4 | "The You You Are" | Aoife McArdle | Kari Drake | March 4, 2022 | |
Mark misses the call on Petey's phone and stashes it, noticing several missed calls from the same blocked number. The next day, Irving visits Optics & Design, where he grows closer to Burt and discovers Ricken's book left behind by Milchick during Helly's attempted escape. Mark decides to keep the book despite promising to give it to management. Helly returns from the break room after being forced to read her apology over a thousand times; she finds a paper cutter and threatens Cobel with self-mutilation unless she is granted a recorded resignation request. However, her outie sends back a recording firmly denying the request. Later that night, Mark receives a news notification reporting that Petey died from an "unknown ailment"; Petey's phone rings shortly after. Cobel attends the funeral as Mrs. Selvig and extracts Petey's severance chip prior to his cremation. She then has Ms. Casey perform a "special" wellness check on Mark, which she watches remotely. Casey has Mark sculpt his emotional state out of clay; Mark sculpts a tree, which his outie visited in remembrance of his late wife Gemma after the funeral. Irving discovers that O&D actually has at least seven employees, working in a massive unlabelled back room. Dylan finds Ricken's book hidden in Mark's files. Helly smuggles out an extension cord and hangs herself in the elevator shaft. | |||||
5 | "The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design" | Aoife McArdle | Anna Ouyang Moench | March 11, 2022 | |
Helly is injured by her suicide attempt, but ultimately survives; she returns to work three days later. Mark continues to read Ricken's book, which carries strong anti-establishment sentiments. Outside work, Mark visits a lodge where Devon gives birth. When Helly returns, Cobel orders Ms. Casey to watch her closely. Irving once again hallucinates black liquid in the office and decides to visit Burt to calm himself, but Mark tells him to print a second copy of the directions to O&D first; while doing so, Milchick runs a "266" on Irving, causing the copier to print out a painting of O&D employees viciously massacring MDR employees. Milchick arrives and claims it was meant as a joke for Cobel. Irving and Dylan confront Burt over the painting, who claims that he lied about the size of O&D because the MDR department is seen as untrustworthy. Meanwhile, Mark sneaks Helly out of MDR and reveals he has been recreating Petey's map. Helly agrees to help Mark with recreating the map after they discover a previously unknown department in which a single employee feeds baby goats. Meanwhile, Dylan and Irving walk Burt back to O&D; Dylan discovers a hidden copy of the massacre painting, but the trio notice that the painting instead depicts MDR employees massacring O&D employees. Burt takes Dylan and Irving to the unlabelled back room and introduces them as "friends". | |||||
6 | "Hide and Seek" | Aoife McArdle | Amanda Overton | March 18, 2022 | |
Cobel is shown worshipping a shrine to Kier Eagan in her home. Graner calls to inform her that he has identified Reghabi, a former Lumon employee, as the person responsible for Petey's reintegration. Irving admits to Burt he is not ready to make their relationship romantic. Mark learns Ms. Casey has been sent to the break room for failing to monitor him and Helly; after a reprimand from Cobel, Mark has Irving take MDR to O&D's back room and makes a speech calling for the departments to work together to understand the inner workings of Lumon. However, Milchick finds them and Mark is sent to the break room. Milchick later briefly awakens Dylan's innie inside his outie's home to locate an infographic card Dylan stole from O&D, but Dylan's innie discovers in the process that he has a son. Outside, Devon runs into Gabby, a woman she met at the birthing lodge, but Gabby does not seem to recognize her. Devon later learns Gabby's husband Angelo Arteta is a Lumon-backed senator who supports legalizing severance. Cobel, as Mrs. Selvig, gets close to Devon and Ricken by acting as their lactation consultant. Mark goes on a date with Alexa, Devon's midwife, to a concert by Petey's daughter's punk-rock band, and sings along to an anti-Lumon protest song. Later, Mark finally answers Petey's phone and is contacted by Reghabi to meet in person at a nearby university. Cobel orders for a keycard-locked door to be installed at the entrance to MDR. | |||||
7 | "Defiant Jazz" | Ben Stiller | Helen Leigh | March 25, 2022 | |
While Mark is meeting with Reghabi, Graner enters the building – following a tip from campus security – and tells Mark he works with him. Reghabi kills Graner and gives Mark his access card, telling him to bring it to his innie. Devon tells Cobel (posing as Mrs. Selvig) that she suspects Gabby severed her memories to avoid the pains of childbirth. Milchick engages in a “Music Dance Experience” with the department as a prize for Helly; Dylan refuses to participate and eventually attacks Milchick, enraged that he cannot know any more information about his child. Milchick leaves to report the incident to Cobel; Dylan, meanwhile, tells the department of Lumon’s ability to wake them up outside the severed floor, known as an “overtime contingency”. Mark and Helly scheme to find the security office; inside, they find Lumon strictly monitors all of its employees, and that the overtime contingency is activated using two levers. Dylan offers to stay behind after hours to wake Mark and Helly up on the outside. Irving departs to O&D, worried for Burt’s safety. Upon arrival, he discovers that Burt is retiring, and openly berates the non-severed Milchick for exploiting the severed employees. After work, Alexa visits a drunken Mark, who scares her off after ripping up a photo of Gemma. After she leaves, Mark reassembles the photo, revealing it to be of Ms. Casey. | |||||
8 | "What's for Dinner?" | Ben Stiller | Chris Black | April 1, 2022 | |
Irving's outie is shown to be living alone in an apartment, where he spends much of his time painting identical images of a dark corridor. Helly reaches 100% on her data refinement file, thereby meeting MDR's quota for the quarter. Cobel schedules Mark for a final wellness session with Ms. Casey, and appears disappointed when Mark and Ms. Casey fail to remember each other as husband and wife. She then orders Ms. Casey sent back down to the "testing floor", whose entrance is shown to be the same corridor in Irving's paintings. While MDR celebrates quota, Cobel is fired by the board for withholding knowledge of Helly's suicide attempt. The MDR team prepares for Dylan to remotely awaken them on the outside; Helly kisses Mark before departing. Mark's outie attends Ricken book party and tells Cobel (as Mrs. Selvig) that he plans to quit Lumon; Cobel, herself feeling betrayed by the company, encourages him to do so. Dylan receives a "waffle party" as a reward for meeting quota, in which he dons a Kier Eagan head and sits within a replica of Kier's bedroom in the Perpetuity Wing while ritualistic and seductive dances are performed in front of him. Dylan leaves midway to access the security office, and activates the overtime contingency to awaken Mark, Irving and Helly's innies in the outside world. | |||||
9 | "The We We Are" | Ben Stiller | Dan Erickson | April 8, 2022 |
Production
Development
Ben Stiller first read the screenplay to the pilot episode at least five years before the show premiered, calling it "the longest thing I've ever worked on." The script was submitted by Dan Erickson as a writing sample to Stiller's production company Red Hour Productions, and passed to Stiller by development executive Jackie Cohn. Stiller said he enjoyed the story's contributions to the workplace comedy.[2] In January 2017, Stiller invited Adam Scott to star.[3] In November 2019, Apple TV+ gave Severance a series order, with Stiller directing and Scott cast in the leading role.[4] Stiller was only attached to direct the pilot but he decided to direct several more episodes as the series entered development.[5]
In January 2020, Patricia Arquette,[6] Britt Lower,[7] Jen Tullock, and Zach Cherry were added to the cast.[8] Tramell Tillman joined in February 2020,[9] and John Turturro and Christopher Walken were added in November 2020.[10][11] Dichen Lachman was cast in December 2020.[12] Turturro said he recommended Walken for the role of Burt because he had known him for "a long time and I don't have to really act like we're friends."[13]
Media that influenced Severance included The Backrooms, The Stanley Parable, and The Truman Show.[14]
Filming
The COVID-19 pandemic postponed the initial production start of March 2020.[2] Principal photography for the first season started in New York City under the working title Tumwater in November 2020, the day after the U.S. presidential election.[15][16] The opening scene of the show was shot on January 6, 2021.[16] The series filmed for a few days in Nyack in February and in Kingston and Beacon in March.[17][18] In April, filming moved to central New Jersey, mainly in the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex which stood in for Lumon HQ.[19][20] Filming was scheduled to conclude on June 23, 2021.[21] Production designer Jeremy Hindle blended corporate looks from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s for the show's distinctive look, and cited modernist architect Eero Saarinen as influential for the building design.[20] Stiller said the prop master reconstructed old computers so the actors could actually do the work presented on the show in order to get adjusted to the office setting.[22]
Reception
Severance was met with critical acclaim upon its release. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 79 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "Audacious, mysterious, and bringing fresh insight into the perils of corporate drudgery, Severance is the complete package."[23] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 83 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[24]
