In Season 2 of Apple TV+'s Severance, Keanu Reeves lends his voice to the animated Lumon building, featured in a corporate instructional video watched by the Macrodata Refinement team. Directed by Ben Stiller, the video humorously recaps the Season 1 finale events, highlighting the team's uprising and new "kindness reforms." Severance’s creator, Dan Erickson, emphasized that the character required a warm presence, making Reeves an ideal choice. The surreal contrast of dark themes with lighthearted presentation creates a unique viewing experience.
Ben Stiller called me... I read the script and immediately said yes. That's how he ended up as the voice of the Lumon building.
The Lumon building talks about how MDR's uprising was a success... listing kindness reforms like pineapple bobbing and a 'playful Mirror room'.
We always wanted it to be somebody that people have certain associations with, but also, it had to be a very warm presence.
The stop-motion animatic is structured like a friendly corporate instructional video, recounting events of the Season 1 finale.
