The Evolving Nature of Severance

The second season of the series Severance, focused on a group of employees at Lumen Industries, explores deeper and stranger aspects of workplace dynamics and personal identity. The narrative revolves around the concept of characters having two distinct selves—referred to as their 'innies' and 'outies.' These characters grapple with the confusion and mystification of their roles and existence within a corporate structure they do not understand. This duality not only drives the plot but also mirrors the complexities of the creator's own career transitions from actor to director.
