The upcoming workplace thriller was created and written by Dan Erickson, who will serve as executive producer alongside Mark Friedman, Chris Black, John Cameron, and Andrew Colville. The show will be directed by Ben Stiller, who will also serve as executive producer alongside Nicky Weinstock and Jackie Cohn through Red Hour Productions. Endeavor Content serves as the studio.

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.
