"Severance"
The first season of "Severance", the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ original show starring Adam Scott, will be free on the Roku Channel until January 19. This will be the first time the show has been offered outside of Apple TV+. Roku is touting the event as an "exclusive fan experience."
The deal for the Red Hour Productions and Fifth Season show is unusual as Apple has previously kept a tight grip on its original programming, but is part of a strategy to entice subscribers to Apple TV+ shows. Behind-the-scenes content and a preview of "Severance" S2 will also be available on Roku, with non-subscribers able to sign up for a free three-month Apple TV+ pass. Let us remember that Roku has a massive presence in the US, with over 90 million users.
The "Severance" fan experience will be available on the Roku Channel's home screen, putting the show front and center for Roku's massive audience."Severance" is a dystopian drama created by Dan Erickson and stars Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Brit Lower, Christopher Walken and more. Season one first debuted in February 2022 to widespread critical acclaim.
