Apple TV+ is planning to be a major presence at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con running July 20th through July 24th in downtown San Diego. The streaming service will be making its SDCC debut with panels featuring casts and/or producers from Severance, For All Mankind, Mythic Quest, See, Invasion, and Foundation.
San Diego Comic-Con attendees will also have the opportunity to be “severed” during a special Severance immersive activation set up at the Hard Rock Hotel and celebrating the critically acclaimed sci-fi drama.
Per Apple TV+: “Fans will have a unique opportunity to be ‘severed’ – a procedure that separates your work life from your personal life – as they immerse themselves as new employees in the world of Lumon Industries. The experience will take guests seeking better work-life balance through their first day on Lumon’s severed floor, but from the moment they enter the boardroom, they will realize that not all is as it seems.
New employees will navigate through several locations featured in the critically acclaimed series for an up-close dive into the mysterious Lumon world. Stops on their first-day orientation include the iconic boardroom where the new hires will meet their ‘innie” and MDR where they can try their hand at refining data. As employees explore life on the severed floor they will interact with longstanding Lumon employees and gather perks along the way.”
