Clayton Davis Apple TV Plus is finalizing its Emmy plans for acclaimed hit “Severance,” which just had its season finale last week. Variety has learned exclusively how the streamer plans on dividing its large ensemble into the drama categories.Stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower will try their luck in the lead drama actor and lead drama actress races.
At the same time, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman and Jen Tullock will angle for supporting drama attention. And in perhaps the biggest mystery of who may end up where, Christopher Walken will be submitted for guest actor in a drama.
The deadline for entering programs for primetime programming is May 12, so any of these plans are subject to change. Created and written by Dan Erickson, “Severance” follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), who receives a promotion to department head at the mysterious Lumon Industries company.
He leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives — in other words, the Mark Scout at Lumon knows nothing about the Mark Scout in the outside world, and vice versa.Scott, whose credits have mostly been in the comedy space — via NBC’s hit shows “Parks and Recreation” and “The Good Place,” as well as Starz’s “Party Down” — has never found his way to Emmys attention. But, executing a steady transition into more serious, emotionally complex roles, such as the cheated-on husband Ed Mackenzie in HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” he has garnered more critical raves.
