Severance Returns: A Nostalgic Claymation Callback
After a lengthy three-year hiatus, the acclaimed series Severance has made its much-anticipated comeback. Fans are abuzz with theories and questions surrounding the enigmatic operations of Lumon Industries, and for those who admire Adam Scott, the new season begins with a delightful surprise.
A Unique Presentation in the Break Room
In the premiere episode of Season 2, Mark S. (portrayed by Adam Scott) and his team find themselves in a distinctive break room where a video presented by none other than Keanu Reeves explains the events that transpired. The revelation is delivered through the whimsical and engaging medium of Claymation, an intriguing artistic choice that resonates with avid fans of Scott’s previous roles.
Ben Wyatt and His Claymation Adventure
Viewers familiar with Parks and Recreation will recall Ben Wyatt’s hilarious foray into Claymation during his period of unemployment. He spent countless hours working on a short film titled Requiem For a Tuesday, which, while being a labor of love, ended up being just a few seconds long. The comedic essence of this storyline draws a fascinating parallel to the recent happenings in Severance.
Fans React to the Claymation Sequence
The response to the Claymation segment from the new season was overwhelmingly positive, with many fans taking to social media to share their delight. One user on X humorously pointed out that Adam Scott seemingly has a knack for appearing in shows that feature elaborate Claymation sequences:

The Intersection of Humor and Nostalgia
The nostalgic element of the Claymation has sparked a wave of clever jokes across social media, particularly referencing Ben Wyatt’s dedication to his craft in Parks and Recreation. Many fans have humorously remarked that perhaps the long wait for Season 2 could be attributed to the time-consuming nature of making Claymation, recalling how it took Wyatt an extensive amount of time to create just a few seconds of his film:
