The event took place at the Director's Guild of America Theater in Los Angeles, with a screening of the final episode of the show's first season.
Afterward, the screening concluded with a panel discussion featuring director Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson. Also in attendance were stars Patricia Arquette, Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Trammel Tillman, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, and Yup Vazquez. Judd Apatow moderated the event.
Directed by Ben Stiller, "Severance" is a show that plays on the idea of keeping work separate from the rest of an employee's life by separating the memories of the two via an experimental procedure.
The show follows Mark, a team leader at Lemon Industries, who finds himself questioning the true nature of his work.
The idea for the show first stemmed from Erickson, who had a string of office jobs, including one in a "weird little windowless office."
Erickson found it mind-numbing and wished there was a way he could disassociate until it was time to clock off.
"Severance" first premiered on February 18, and the nine-episode series is now fully available to watch on Apple TV+. The series was renewed up for a second season in early April.

Apple TV+ is still very new to the scene (launched Nov 2019) and yet it also feels like it’s very mature. I can’t even imagine what another 2 years will bring.
You made your first post to point out an autocorrection typo? :sigh:
Needless to say, cannot wait for the next season.
Silly as in so amazeballs, I honestly can't get enough and have such high hopes! But as one stated the cliffhangers, but YES they are like insane cliffhangers where you WANT them to break to a whole next episode or season for that matter!!!
I'll probably watch the Season Finale one more time, and then one more before the next season starts...
*Severance, Ptolemy Grey, Pachinko, and Slow Horses.
It's a colossal undertaking, perhaps second only to trying to break into the auto business. But, the only organization with more money to put into building up a studio than Apple would be the US government. Apple can do it and is doing it right before our eyes.
I predict within the next five to eight years, Apple will buy one of the major studios, that will give them the established franchises and classic films they lack.
If Apple can pull off creating a TV/film studio practically from scratch and muscle its way into this exclusive club, then by all rights AAPL should go into the stratosphere because it means they can certainly figure out how to break their way into the auto biz too.
Making cars is not the same as making movies/tv. Likewise, being successful in one venture does not automatically mean they will be successful in another.
