"Severance" is a workplace thriller that is set at Lumen Industries, a company looking to take work-life balance to a new level. Adam Scott will play the lead role of Mark, an employee with a dark past trying to put himself back together.
The series is written and created by Dan Erickson. Chris Black ("Outcast", "Desperate Housewives", "Star Trek: Enterprise") will executive produce alongside Erickson. Ben Stiller, Nicky Weinstock and Jackie Cohn will executive produce through Red Hour Productions, and Adam Scott will serve as producer.

This is Stiller's latest TV foray following Showtime's awards limited series "Escape at Dannemora". He also exec produces The CW's sophomore drama "In the Dark".
