The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott
Podcast Description
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.

For seasons one and two, we did an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown with the creators, cast, crew, and fans of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning TV show. We shared in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, alongside guests including creator Dan Erickson, stars Britt Lower (“Helly”), Zach Cherry (“Dylan”), John Turturro (“Irving”), Christopher Walken (“Bert”), Patricia Arquette (“Cobel”) and Tramell Tillman (“Milchick”), and celebrity superfans like SZA, Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
Now we’re bringing on special guests to talk about the tv shows, movies and cultural touchpoints that influenced us while making Severance. Sometimes we’ll talk with the people behind those inspirational works, sometimes we’ll talk with fellow fans, and through it all, we’ll keep answering your hotline questions. If you’ve got a question about Severance or the stuff that influenced it, call us at 212-830-3816.

It’s a bittersweet day, because it’s Ben and Adam’s final podcast episode for awhile! For this special episode, Adam talks to Yul Vazquez, who plays Petey, Mark’s best friend (but Mark is just Petey’s very good friend). They talk about shooting the very first scene of the show and the joy of playing two guys who just really like each other. Then, Ben and Adam answer more fan hotline questions to close out the season.
