Apple TV+ New Workplace Thriller “Severance,” from Director and Executive Producer Ben Stiller, Unveils Teaser Trailer and Sets Global Premiere Date for February 18, 2022 [VIDEO]

Apple TV+ has unveiled a teaser trailer and a premiere date for its highly anticipated new drama series, “Severance,” from director and executive producer Ben Stiller (“Escape at Dannemora,” “Tropic Thunder“), and creator Dan Erickson, which will launch globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on February 18, 2022, followed by new weekly installments, each Friday during its nine-episode season.

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.

“Severance” reunites Emmy and DGA Award winner Ben Stiller with Academy Award® and Emmy Award® winner Patricia Arquette (“Escape at Dannemora,” “Boyhood“), who stars alongside Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation,” “Step Brothers“), Emmy Award winner John Turturro (“The Plot Against America,” “The Night Of“), Britt Lower (“High Maintenance,” “Casual“), Zach Cherry (“You,” “Succession“), Dichen Lachman (“Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Altered Carbon“), Jen Tullock (“Before You Know It,” “Bless This Mess“), Tramell Tillman (“Hunters,” Dietland“), Michael Chernus (“Orange is the New Black,” “Patriot“) and Academy Award winner Christopher Walken.

The series is written and created by Dan Erickson. Mark Friedman, Chris Black, John Cameron, and Andrew Colville are executive producers alongside Erickson. Ben Stiller, Nicky Weinstock, and Jackie Cohn executive produce through Red Hour Productions, and both Patricia Arquette and Adam Scott serve as producers. Endeavor Content serves as the studio.
