As the first season unfolds, the characters uncover dark secrets within the office, leading to revelations about their jobs and identities.
In a joint statement, Stiller and Scott expressed their excitement for the podcast, humorously stating, “We have severed ourselves from the world for five years making this show…we thought we should do a podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching, in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show.” They also highlighted their partnership with Audacy Podcasts, emphasizing their departure from Lumon Industries in favor of bringing the podcast to audiences worldwide.
Produced by Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios, known for producing official companion podcasts for popular shows like “Succession” and “Chernobyl,” “The Severance Podcast” promises to offer behind-the-scenes insights into the world of “Severance.” EVP of Audacy Podcasts, Jenna Weiss-Berman, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting the podcast’s potential to engage listeners and provide unique content.
