Keanu Reeves Makes a Cameo in Severance Season 2
Season 2 of Severance saw an unexpected cameo. The Matrix and John Wick star appeared on screen in an unexpected way, thanks to the actor's friendly voice. Spoilers ahead!
In an interview with Collider, series creator Dan Erickson explained how he came up with the idea to invite Keanu Reeves to the set. In the first episode of season 2, the main characters are shown a corporate video called «Lumon is Listening», in which the Lumon corporation building retells the events of season 1 in its own way. To make the character appealing, it was necessary to find someone with a warm voice:
All I can say is that we talked about a couple of different people for that role. We always wanted it to be somebody that people have certain associations with, but also, it had to be a very warm presence. The Lumon building is very friendly in the context of this video, and there’s a friendliness to that particular voice and a heart to that particular voice.
That’s why Keanu Reeves was the perfect candidate. The choice looks even better due to the fact that the actor has already established himself in the world of voice acting thanks to his role as Shadow in Sonic 3 and Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. In addition, he is a popular Hollywood star, and in the context of the show, Lumon would clearly like to get his voice to appease the employees.
Let us remind you that the release schedule for all episodes of the second season of Severance was previously released. We have already watched the first episode and shared our opinion.
