Severance is a science fiction psychological thriller that follows a group of office workers whose consciousness has been split in half. They live their regular lives, but upon arriving to work at a biotechnology corporation known as Lumon Industries, an implant inside their mind is activated, and their work consciousness takes over. With no recollection of who they are outside their work lives, the employees toil away as they complete tasks without understanding the meaning behind what they do. Essentially two people inside one mind, they never meet, and their outside versions have no idea what their work versions do each day.
However, when a mysterious coworker shows up outside of work, the truth about their jobs begins to unravel, and their drive to figure it all out only grows. As the series returns for its second season, the employees on the inside are on the cusp of figuring out exactly who they are on the outside. The show’s main cast includes Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, John Turturro, and Patricia Arquette.
