“Severance”Friday, February 18, Apple TV+After directing 2018’s Emmy-nominated limited series for Showtime, “Escape at Dannemora,” Ben Stiller returns to helm six of the nine episodes of Apple TV+’s trippy new prestige series “Severance.” Created by Dan Erickson, the series stars Adam Scott as a man who works for a mysterious company called Lumon Industries. In an effort to keep the business’ operations a secret, employees go through a process called “severance,” wherein memories of their everyday life are sliced away once they enter the building (and vice versa when they leave).
