The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott

Hi, we're Ben Stiller and Adam Scott. We have severed ourselves from the world for 5 years, making the workplace thriller Severance. While we have no memory of what happened during that time, we thought we should make a companion podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching, in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show.
This is the Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown with the creators, cast, crew, and fans of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning TV show.
In advance of Season 2 premiering January 17 on Apple TV+, director/executive producer Stiller and star/executive producer Scott will rewatch every episode of Season 1 and share in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, alongside guests including creator Dan Erickson, producer Jackie Cohn, stars Zach Cherry ("Dylan"), John Turturro ("Irving") and Britt Lower ("Helly"), and celebrity superfans Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. The podcast will continue weekly following new episodes of Season 2. From Audacy Podcasts, Audacy's Pineapple Street Studios, Red Hour, and Great Scott.
If you’ve got a question about Severance, call our hotline at 212-830-3816. We just might play your voicemail and answer your question on the podcast.

The wait is over. Ben and Adam break down the Season 2 Premiere with the incredible Tramell Tillman — aka Mr. Milchick, aka Mr. Milkshake. Tramell shares what it means for Milchick to become the new Floor Manager and argues that he really isn’t all that bad, once you get to know him. Plus, the pod unveils a few new perks: the guys answer fan questions from the Severed Floor Post Box and clairvoyant Zach Cherry predicts what will happen in next week’s episode. Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the Los Angeles fires.
