Ben Stiller talks about Season 2 of Severance taking three years to make, having fun while creating a world that isn't locked into any specific rules and a failed television pilot with Jack Black called Heat Vision and Jack.

Severance season two is set to grace screens tomorrow (January 17), with fans eagerly anticipating answers about the enigmatic Lumon Industries, as well as new mysteries to unravel. The first season of the Dan Erickson-helmed series made its debut on Apple TV+ on February 18, 2022, captivating audiences with weekly episode releases.

Ben Stiller acknowledges "patches" of difficulties in making Severance Season 2, but says it's all part of the creative process.

Ben Stiller isn't just a director and executive producer of Severance — he also had an uncredited voiceover cameo back in Season 1. In a 2022 interview with ET Online, Severance stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman confirmed that Stiller voiced the animated version of Lumon founder Kier Eagan that congratulates Helly (Lower) for reaching quota in Season 1,
