Ben Stiller Likens ‘Severance’ To Hollywood Today: “Constriction And Choices That Are Safer”
In the way that Lumon Industries is disconnected to its workers on 'Severance,' so too is Hollywood, Ben Stiller posits.
Previewing the highly anticipated and delayed second season of the mystery-box thriller to the New York Times in a recent interview, the executive producer and director likened the lack of control the series’ characters have to a similar floundering facing those in the entertainment industry. In Severance Season 1, the eerie contentment of a fictional conglomerate — occupied by characters played by Adam Scott, John Turturro and Zach Cherry — is upended with the arrival of standout Britt Lower’s Helly, who questions the shadowy circumstances of their predicament. Created, executive produced and written by Dan Erickson, Season 2 has added cast members Gwendoline Christie ( Game of Thrones), Bob Balaban ( The Chair), Merritt Wever ( Godless), Alia Shawkat ( Search Party), Robby Benson ( Beauty and the Beast), Stefano Carannante(Mirabilia), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson(The Tourist) and John Noble(Fringe).
