This edited collection reveals the religious, theological, and philosophical underpinnings of Apple TV's Severance.

Nickolas A. Fox and this volume's contributors turn to one of popular culture's most discussed, and highly awarded, television series. Defined by it's dystopian, thought-provoking discussion of modern capitalism, trauma, and corporate horror, Severance provides rich fodder for studies of philosophy and belief. While the series is not explicitly religious, this book launches a rich discussion of themes, messages, and imagery resonant with Christian belief. Across fifteen chapters, the contributors reveal how the series depicts relevant questions of community, resistance, and liberation, asking what viewers might gain from engaging with the series from a theological perspective. This book similarly hones in on Severance's deeply philosophical inquiries on memory, love, coping with trauma, and work life balance. In essence, Fox and the contributors consider how, and why, Severance's philosophical and religious frameworks not only resonate with viewers but prompt meaningful reflection about what it means to be human during the Twenty-First Century.
