Apple’s Senior Vice President Eddy Cue and director Ben Stiller recently appeared on stage at SXSW to chat about Severance, the sci-fi thriller that has become a standout hit on Apple TV+. Cue emphasized how Severance has become a cornerstone of the platform, showcasing Apple’s commitment to quality over quantity when it comes to original content.

During the presentation, exclusive clips from an upcoming episode were shown, but unfortunately, these have been edited out from the recorded version. Despite the lack of new spoilers, the conversation between Stiller and Cue was heartwarming as they shared behind-the-scenes stories and mutual appreciation for each other’s work.
