In the Season 2 premiere of 'Severance,' Keanu Reeves surprised fans with a brief but memorable cameo, lending his voice to the Lumon building in a cartoonish corporate video. This scene aims to illustrate the company’s efforts to convey concern for their employees following a major uprising in Season 1. Creator Dan Erickson chose Reeves for his warm voice, evoking a sense of familiarity and friendliness, crucial to this specific character portrayal. The cameo is a nod to Reeves’ iconic portrayal of Neo in 'The Matrix,' enriching the overall viewer experience with a layer of cultural reference.
"We always wanted it to be somebody that people have certain associations with, but also, it had to be a very warm presence."
