The second season of "Severance" will feature a podcast hosted by Adam Scott and Ben Stiller.
The podcast will launch with episodes that summarize each chapter of the first season and will subsequently provide weekly summaries of the second season.
Severance is one of the most anticipated series for its second season, which will return in January 2025 after more than two years without new episodes. Recently, it has been reported that, along with the premiere of the new season, an official podcast titled The Severance Podcast will be launched. This podcast, hosted by Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, will delve deeply into the second season, focusing on the unresolved plot threads and offering analyses of everything that has happened at Lumon Corporation.
The show will debut with two episodes on January 7 and will continue with new daily episodes from Monday to Friday, covering the first season of Severance until January 16. Once the second season premieres on January 17, new episodes will be released weekly every Friday.
Stiller and Scott stated in a release that, although they have been "separated" from the world for five years while working on this project, they felt it was important to create a podcast for those who may not remember watching the series, aiming to help them reintegrate into the narrative of the show. Additionally, they expressed their satisfaction with not being affiliated with Lumon Industries for this podcast and instead working with Audacy Podcasts, an entity that would not send them to the break room.
Pineapple Street Studios, associated with Audacy, has produced other complementary podcasts for shows like Chernobyl, Succession, The Last of Us, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Jenna Weiss-Berman, executive vice president of Audacy Podcasts, highlighted her admiration for Severance and what Ben and Adam have created, praising the podcast as a valuable addition to their offerings, providing exceptional content for listeners and exciting opportunities for clients.
