Adam Scott reflected on the viral 'Severance' marketing stunt held in New York City, joking that no one 'peed for 3 hours' while in the glass cubicle.
Adam Scott and the other cast members of the upcoming Apple TV+ show Severance Season 2 recently surprised audiences at New York’s Grand Central station with a pop-up. Like its predecessor, the sophomore installment of the sci-fi psychological thriller series has also been directed by Ben Stiller.
The pop-up began when a large glass box appeared in Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall, containing a replica of the four-seated desk from Lumon's Macrodata Refinement department. Hired actors playing Lumon employees sat at their desks, doing Lumon things (by which I mean, sorting numbers while not having a clue what said numbers mean).
Apple TV+ put the cast of 'Severance,' including Adan Scott and Patricia Arquette, in a glass box at Grand Central Station to promote Season 2.
This is all happening ahead of the release of the second season of Severance, which is premiering on January 17 on Apple TV+. In the psychological thriller starring Adam Scott, John Turturro and Patricia Arquette, a company implants chips inside its employees' brains that basically split their personalities into at-work and outside-of-work ones.

A cubicle set was placed inside a large glass box in the station, recreating a portion of the office from the series. Footage shared on social media by fans and director and executive producer Ben Stiller showed Scott cleaning the carpet and joining his fellow co-stars in pretending to work at their desks while ignoring the large crowd assembled around them.
Grand Central Terminal works as a fitting location for this pop-up thematically as it is where commuters change between their home and work lives on the way to and from work.

Severence Season 2’s infamous viral cast stunt at Grand Central Terminal seemed like any other pop-up, but turns out it is series canon.
At Grand Central Terminal, Apple TV+ set up a glass cube of sorts with a set of Lumon Industries-style desks, straight out of the Macrodata Refinement floor. Originally, the computers were staffed by actors in suits pretending to do, well, whatever people at Lumon Industries actually do. (What is Macrodata Refinement for again?)
