Severance creators host special Q&A event to go behind the scenes of the series

The Severance events just keep on coming.

To celebrate the success of the first season of Severance, which has already raked in fourteen Emmy nominations, the creators of the series hosted a special panel discussion event in Malibu, California. 

In attendance at the event were the director and executive producer Ben Stiller, creator Dan Erickson, series star Jen Tullock, casting director Rachel Tenner, and set decorator Andrew Baseman. Kumail Nanjiani, known for his roles in the Eternals and The Big Sick, moderated the discussion.

The group talked about the making of the first season of the series as well as hosted a Q&A session to take questions from the audience.

The second season of Severance is already underway

While the group is certainly on a high after the acclaim over the first season, which includes an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, that isn't slowing them down. The second season of Severance is already in production with all of the creators and cast coming back.

As far as who could be joining the original cast in season two, things could get quite strange. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, series creator Dan Erickson said that he'd be interested in anyone from Christoper Guest to Barack Obama.
