Apple TV Plus has released the first trailer for its upcoming dystopian centered series Severance, which attempts to resolve the universal dilemma of separating one's home and work life from one another. The series written and created by Dan Erickson will also include Ben Stiller, who will serve as director and as an executive producer on the project.

Apple TV Plus' Severance is opening its doors with two episodes to get things started. Afterward, brand-new episodes will be released weekly for the nine-episode dystopian adventure. Erickson sets the narrative in Lumon Industries, a company taking a new approach to work-life balance with its new severance procedure. Those who provide consent undergo a process that severs their work life and personal life memories from one another. While present at work, personal memories are unavailable, and while at home, one cannot attain memories from work.

The Apple TV Plustrailer continues with a short-lived overview of work life for Scout, which concludes with Scout receiving a promotion due to the termination of one of his closest friends in the office, Petey. The
