Ben Stiller talks about Season 2 of Severance taking three years to make, having fun while creating a world that isn't locked into any specific rules and a failed television pilot with Jack Black called Heat Vision and Jack.

Most recently, Stiller has spent the last five years directing the workplace sci-fi drama Severance. Created by first-time writer Dan Erickson, the Apple TV+ series follows employees at the secretive Lumon Industries, who have voluntarily undergone a surgical procedure to bifurcate (or “sever”) their work and home lives.
