Adam Scott's Severance is based on a true story that every corporate employee in America can relate to
Severance Pay — Official Trailer | Apple TV+
Adam Scott's dystopian thriller drama Severance is all too relatable for anyone who has navigated the complexities of corporate life. The show stars Adam Scott as Mark, an employee who works at a biotech company called Lumon Industries. Here, the employees have to go through a procedure called severance pay, which cuts their professional and private life into two distant halves. As Mark's story progresses, he begins to unravel the company's sinister plans.
This amazing show was inspired by the show's creator, Dan Erikson himself, and his desire to break away from the monotony of a 9-to-5 job. Furthermore, this exacerbates the nightmare that most professionals in the workforce can identify with.
After a big cliffhanger in the last episode of Season 1, fans are eagerly waiting for Season 2 to see the story of Adam Scott's Mark. This eagerness is understandable given that it sticks with almost every corporate employee going through the same monotonous life. Although the show's concept was liked by many, it was the creator himself who pitched the idea based on his own struggling office days.
