The first run of Ben Stiller’s critically acclaimed work place drama Severance earned itself 14 Emmy nominations and rave reviews across the board, so it’s no surprise that actors are clamouring to get themselves a job at Lumon Industries with the news that Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), John Noble (Fringe), and Bob Balaban (Condor) are among the new additions for season 2.
With principal photography underway on the second season Apple TV+ have announced eight new cast members who will be joining Adam Scott’s team leader. As well as the aforementioned trio, they include Merritt Wever (Godless), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Robby Benson (Beauty and the Beast), Stefano Carannante (Mirabilia), and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Tourist).

In “Severance,” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work…and of himself.
Season 1 of Severance is currently streaming on Apple TV+.
