Ben Stiller’s “Severance” has eight new cast members as the thriller has begun filming its second season for Apple TV+. New cast members include Bob Balaban and Gwendoline Christie.
Severance is a critically acclaimed and popular workplace thriller that takes place at Lumen Industries, a company that’s looking to take work-life balance to a new level with a “severance procedure,” which separates work and out-of-work memories.
Apple TV+ announced that filming is underway with Dan Erickson as the creator and writer. Ben Stiller is back as director and executive producer. The cast returns with Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus, and Christopher Walken.
There are eight new stars for season two — Bob Balaban, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, Gwendoline Christie, John Noble, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Alia Shawkat, and Merritt Wever.
The show received 14 Emmy Award nominations earlier this year, with two awards won for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series and Outstanding Main Title Design.
The entire first season of “Severance” is currently available on Apple TV+. Customers can subscribe for $6.99 per month or via any tier of the Apple One bundle.
