Created by Dan Erickson with Ben Stiller behind it, the 2022 drama Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), who leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their jobs and their personal lives. Oscar winners Patricia Arquette and Christopher Walken join Emmy winner John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman and Michael Chernus.
This trailer sets up a sci-fi thriller in which the company’s experiment in work-life balance starts to look suspect. Mark lands at the centre of an unravelling mystery that pushes him to confront the true nature of his job, and of himself. Stiller and Aoife McArdle direct, with episodes running about 49 minutes. South African viewers can stream it on Apple TV, where it carries a 16 age rating.
