A Video Game Adaptation of This Hit Apple TV Show Would Sit Just Right With Ben Stiller

While video games have long been the inspiration behind various movie plots and cinematic storytelling arcs, the reverse is just as true, and sometimes even juicier. We’re talking TV adaptations that spin out into interactive experiences and fan-made games born out of obsessive fandoms.

It’s safe to say that movies and TV shows are increasingly getting their pixelated due. And now, with the Apple TV’****** eerie, brain-bending corporate thriller, Severance, likely poised to step into the gaming multiverse. Producer Ben Stiller seems game, and honestly? So are we.

Ben Stiller wants to expand Severance, and that could mean a Video game

Ever since its debut, Severance has carved a niche for itself as one of the most mind-bending, stylish, and emotionally eerie shows in recent memory. With its second season leaving us dangling off even more with a metaphorical cliff, viewers were once again left grasping for clues.

The story of “Innies” and “Outies” employees surgically split into separate work and non-work selves has proven fertile ground for fan theories,

spirals, and now, potentially, spin-offs. But it seems the fan theories are not enough for Executive producer Ben Stiller.

He recently teased that more is brewing in the Severance universe, in an interview with

, with series star Adam Scott (Innie Mark). Both expressed interest in a video game adaptation. Stiller called the idea “great,” while Scott pointed out that the show “lends itself” to gaming perfectly.

If you think about it, they’re not wrong. The narrative is rich, the mystery is layered, and there’s already precedent. Fans have already created indie games based on the show’s dystopian world, including one called Lumon, based on the eerie, tedious macrodata refinement process central to the series.

Imagine booting up a Severance game. You’re dropped into Lumon Industries with no memory of the outside world. Your mission? Refine mysterious numbers, decode cryptic memos, and navigate an endless maze of white hallways, all while trying to figure out if you’re being watched (spoiler: you are).

But it’s not just another puzzle-heavy thriller. Like the show, the game could take a different approach and thrive on duality: two versions of you, split and unaware of each other, one in control while the other slowly unravels.

This isn’t just potential fan service, it’s a concept begging for an immersive narrative design. Routine becomes horror, and the player must piece together identity and intent, not just complete objectives.

With the rise of story-rich games, this could slide right into the modern gaming scene and maybe even earn some indie cred. Plus, with Stiller already teasing prequel stories, the building blocks are already there.

In the end, let’s be real: if the Severance game ever gets made, we’re all signing the digital waiver. Innie us wouldn’t remember it, but Outie us sure would.
