Severance is one of the best reasons, possibly the best reason, to have an Apple TV+ subscription. The long-awaited second season of the show is airing on the 2025 TV schedule after three years of waiting,

Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter that it was paramount he convince streaming platform Apple TV + to give Scott the chance to take on the character of Mark S. in the drama series. Stiller, who executive produces the show and directs several episodes, had previously directed Scott in his 2013 film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”

In the hit dystopian series on which Stiller is an executive producer and director, Scott plays Mark S., an employee of the sinister Lumon Industries who has undergone a "severance" procedure whereby he has no memory of his time at the office, effectively creating a split personality.

Bryan Cranston shattered expectations as Walter White, and Adam Scott’s gripping performance in Severance shows his formidable, dramatic skills.
