Apple Continues Promoting Severance Ahead of Season 2 Premiere

[MacRumors]

The second season of hit television show Severance is set to be available to stream starting tomorrow, and Apple is continuing to promote the show. The company's main Apple.com website now has a section dedicated to Lumon Industries, the fictional business that "innies" work for in Severance.

On Tuesday, several key Severance actors attended a promotion at Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The team sat at workstations modeled after the workstations they use on the show, and sat in a glass cube for several hours as part of a live-action Severance event attended by the public and members of the press.

Severance actors have also been attending talk shows. Adam Scott, one of the main characters of the show, visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Scott said that during the promotion at Grand Central Terminal, the actors were locked in the cube for several hours. "None of us peed at all, for three hours," he said. "Didn't leave a glass cube for three hours." Scott went on to say it was a lot of fun, though.

Members of the media have already been able to watch the second season of Severance, and it is so far receiving rave reviews.

The show is available on Apple TV+, Apple's streaming service that's priced at $9.99 per month.

It’s finally coming out !! The wait was too long.

 

[August West]

Can't hardly wait. Almost completed rewatch of S1 and listening to Adam Scott & Ben Stiller insider podcast.

Ah, it's funny that a major prop in the show is a (modified) DG terminal that I used extensively in the 1980s.

Interestingly enough, Data General is now essentially owned by Dell, via its EMC acquisition. Data General was started by some ex-Digital engineers. Microsoft Windows was based on Digital's primary OS, VMS. Digital itself was snapped up by Compaq, now part of HP. It's all one big, giant circle.

Is there a Severance app where we can pretend we are working at Lumon Industries?

There’s a Severance focus mode, but by design you don’t remember it.

3 years since season 1 ended. I should watch the last episode of season 1 before season 2 starts. I forgot how season 1 ended.

Ironic that it doesn’t work in Safari. :/

Apple should sell a Mac with the same look of the computers in Severance. I would buy one.

Guys Lumon sent an email for a mandatory meeting tomorrow. They mentioned waffles will not be provided.

Any one else get this? I’m low key panicking. I hope it’s nothing serious.

I really want something like they have in Silo.

How can anyone forget that ending.

I have waited a long time for this second season. I really hope they don't mess it up.

OOOORRRRRR, I have a friend with a 3D printer, so if anyone ever produces the files for it, just slide an iPad into it and DONE.

 

[dantay]

Season one was sooooo good, best thing I’ve watched in ages……fingers crossed for season two.

Ya'll need to search the Internet more. But getting a working display in one sounds fun.

Severance TV Show - MDR Computer Workstation by vorkosigan78

Inspired by the Apple TV series, now you can have your own Macro Data Refinement workstation. This retro computer model is similar to a Data General Dasher D2, but specific to the design seen on the show. Roughly dollhouse sized, this model makes a nice desk decoration. The model has been...

While rewatching Season 1 a week or better ago, I paused on the little speaker to see clear signs of it just a 3D printed prop. Not even that high of quality. It would be epic if those models got released.

Early reports from reviewers that have seen s2e1 are strong.

Oh boy. You don’t need any app for that. Just come to my work place and I will guarantee you that experience is almost identical.

True, but it doesn’t work on Chrome either.

@MacRumors, its tommorow in the US. It's already showing in Australia. We not only get the latest phones first, we also get the latest Apple TV content first as well. Just sayin' 😏

 

[dng]

Try this as well

Finally it's here, but just like Disney they're going to string you along for 10 weeks, one week at a time. It's not a bad thing though, wait until it's done dumping, pay $10 then binge it and cancel sub. Still annoying.

It looks very much like an old TRS-80, which is very ironic given that the TRS-80 was originally a competitor to the Apple II.
