Apple CEO Tim Cook Visits Lumon Industries in 'Severance' Promo Video

The hit Apple TV+ workplace thriller "Severance" returned for a second season last week, and Apple continues to heavily market the show.

Tim Cook Severance
In a short video shared today by "Severance" executive producer Ben Stiller, Apple CEO Tim Cook visits Lumon Industries. He enters the office's elevator and undergoes the severance procedure, which divides his memories between his work and personal life. Cook arrives to the severed floor as his "innie," wearing a "Tim C." name tag.

A stoic but smiling Tim C. walks down a hallway and enters a room with Milchick, who greets him by calling him the "core of the apple." Cook sits down in front of a TV, which will play a video walking him through his new severed work life.


Episode two of the second season of "Severance" is now available to watch on Apple TV+, which costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year in the U.S. after a seven-day trial. Apple TV+ is also included in all Apple One subscription bundles.

"Severance" was created by Dan Erickson. The first season of the show premiered in 2022 to critical acclaim, becoming one of Apple TV+'s most popular series. In the second season, Apple says the Lumon Industries employees "learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe."

Look at how innie Tim smiles. Forgets how much of an operational bean counter his outie is.

I bet innie Tim would’ve given us a real update to the AirPods Max and a free iCloud storage tier greater than 5GB ?

This was pretty cool! I am excited to eventually sit down and watch season 2. Season 1 was really good.

Seems to me a lot of work is being done to revitalize the brand, as there is an increasing perception of stale. A lot of outreach by Tim, recently.

"Ok Tim, walk into the elevator and turn around, and do that expressionless frowny face thing you do. Oh perfect"

I am a fan of the show. I didn't watch season 1 until I saw season 2 coming out. Took me 3 or 4 tries to get through season 1 Episode 1, but once I gave it the attention it deserved I really enjoyed it. I'll say the same as others have. For original content, Apple TV+ is head and shoulders above the other streamers. They just don't have a ton of it yet. I like For All Mankind, Silo, Severance, Invasion, Ted Lasso and Greyhound and there are a couple of others I haven't started yet but am looking forward to.
