A scene from Parks and Recreation, in which Adam Scott's character proposes separating work and home life, has sparked speculation that it may have foreshadowed the premise of Severance.
Apple TV+'s sci-fi thriller Severance has captivated audiences with its intriguing premise of employees having their memories surgically divided between their work and personal lives. Adam Scott stars as Mark Scout, a Lumon Industries biotech worker who, along with his colleagues, undergoes a procedure that essentially creates two distinct personalities: an 'Innie' dedicated to work at Lumon and an 'Outtie' living a separate life outside the office.
Eagle-eyed fans have unearthed a peculiar connection between Severance and Adam Scott's previous role in the acclaimed mockumentary sitcom Parks and Recreation. In a scene from Parks and Recreation, Scott's character, Ben Wyatt, proposes to his co-worker Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) that they maintain a strict separation between their professional and personal lives. He suggests, 'Maybe it would be good to keep our home life and our work life separate,' likening their proposed arrangement to a 'firewall system.' This seemingly innocuous exchange from over a decade ago has sparked a frenzy among Severance fans on social media, who are drawing parallels between Ben's suggestion and the core concept of Severance. Some have playfully suggested that Severance is nothing more than a 'Covid-induced fever dream' experienced by Ben Wyatt, while others have mused that this scene might have played a role in landing Scott his lead role in Severance. The show's creator, Dan Erickson, drew inspiration from his own experiences working a 'really bad office job,' envisioning a scenario where he could 'skip the eight hours of the workday' and disassociate from the tedium. Erickson has cited films like Office Space and The Truman Show, along with the socio-political climate of the United States, as influences on Severance's themes of corporate control and the erosion of individual identity. The show is available for streaming on Apple TV+
