The first episode of ‘Severance’ season 2 has the unenviable task of following up on the drama’s epic season 1 finale, and instead of providing immediate answers, it leaves viewers wondering how many of the key mysteries established in season 1 The crab pulls in again. The entire episode is spent in LeMond’s office with no glimpses of the outside world or what the characters are up to. The only clue we get is from the explanation given to Mark S. (Adam Scott) and the rest of the gang, whose temporary escape at the end of season 1 made them famous. is said to have led to major reforms in working conditions. An employee who has been fired.
The events of the Season 1 finale are summarized in an animated corporate information video that is shown to the Macrodata Refinement (or MDR) team after everyone returns to the office. Anyone who has seen The Matrix or John Wick will be thrilled at the beginning of this scene. The video’s narrator (the anthropomorphic LeMond building) is voiced by Keanu Reeves.
Reeves isn’t credited, so you wouldn’t know it by looking at the credits. But if you’ve seen any of his movies, it’s impossible not to recognize the iconic voice that recently brought Shadow the Hedgehog to life in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . And if you’re still wondering that this building is voiced by Neo himself, series creator Dan Erickson may have given away the game during a recent interview with /Film.
There are some big questions about Keanu Reeves’ Severance cameo
When speaking with /Film recently about Season 2 of Severance, series creator Dan Erickson declined to discuss Keanu Reeves’ uncredited appearance. When asked about the cameo, Erickson quipped: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t actually know the actor very well.” He then cheekily asked, “Is that the guy from ‘Lake House’?”
It seems highly unlikely that Reeves would appear again in any major role, but having such a famous voice backing up the bizarre training videos shown to MDR adds to the show’s absurdity. are. The video itself has a lot to do with it, as Inies’ escape in season 1 is depicted as both a violent uprising (dubbed the “Macrodad Uprising”) and a highly influential act that the company is grateful for. This raises questions. The “reforms” introduced as a result, while certainly some sort of modest advance for innie rights, don’t seem to actually change the situation all that much. In some ways, the company appears to be using the notoriety of its fugitives to cultivate a new public image as a kind and courteous corporate ruler.
Keanu Reeves isn’t the only person to have a cameo in Weird Lumon videos
Keanu Reeves stars in a claymation-style corporate training video in Severance Season 2, Episode 1, but he’s not the only notable person to voice the googly-eyed building. Comedian Sarah Sherman, best known these days as a performer on “Saturday Night Live,” also appears briefly as a water tower at the end of the instructional video. But unlike Reeves, Sherman is actually credited with her line.
Perhaps because season 1 of Severance was so well-received and popular, it became a hot topic for Hollywood celebrities. Two of the temporary MDR replacements appearing in Season 2 are played by character actors Bob Balaban and Alia Shawkat, and casting news before the Season 2 premiere revealed that Game of Thrones It has been confirmed that Gwendoline Christie from ‘Thrones’ will also be joining the show.
Reeves’ role is uncredited, leaving the possibility of additional unseen cameos in later episodes. This is one of the mysteries for eagle-eyed “Severance” fans to keep an eye on as Season 2 continues.
