'Severance' stars Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman sent surprise messages to their co-star Adam Scott as he received the Icon Award at Canneseries, the French television festival.
The messages included a playful reference to their working relationship on the Apple TV+ psychological thriller series. "You Make Coming to Work Feel Like a Summer Camp – Where We Have No Access to Sunlight," the actors said in their surprise tribute to Scott.
About 'Severance'
'Severance' is Apple TV+'s critically acclaimed workplace thriller that premiered in 2022. The series follows employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a surgical procedure to separate their work and personal memories. Scott plays Mark, a team leader at the company's mysterious Macrodata Refinement division.
Lower portrays Helly R., a new employee in Mark's team, while Tillman plays Seth Milchick, a wellness counselor at the company. The show's premise involves workers who have no memory of their outside lives while at work, and vice versa – a concept that gives particular meaning to the actors' joke about Scott making work feel like "summer camp" with "no access to sunlight."
Canneseries Recognition
The Icon Award presentation took place at Canneseries, an international festival dedicated to television series held annually in Cannes, France. The festival celebrates excellence in television programming and recognizes outstanding contributions to the medium.
Scott's recognition at the festival comes as 'Severance' has garnered significant critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. The series has been praised for its unique premise, visual design, and performances from its ensemble cast.
The surprise messages from Lower and Tillman highlight the camaraderie among the 'Severance' cast members, even as their characters navigate the unsettling corporate environment of Lumon Industries on screen.
