Barack Obama was almost a part of ”Departure weight“Season 2. The legs poseAs an executive, the series produces and directs, said during a recent performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (as you can see in the video below) that he asked former President Obama to express the animated Lumon building during the second season. Although Obama was a “big fan” of the series, he rejected the role.
“I didn’t personally ask him,” Stiller said about how he approached and asked Obama. “I knew someone who knew his lawyer, and his lawyer said” I can forward the request if you write an e -mail message, “so I wrote an e -mail message for him. Just like two days later, I get an e -mail from President Barack Obama saying: “Hi Ben, a big fan of the show, Love Season 1, can’t wait for Season 2. … Don’t think I have time in my schedule to make this happen.”
Stiller added, “and who, came again, what is more important than doing voiceover for the animated building in” Severance “? But it was quite cool that he answered.” Instead, Keanu Reeves expresses the building in the animated “Lumon is listen” video in the series.

“Severance” Season 2 has the blurred lines between Innie’s and excursions, thus the actual marketing band. When Mark (Adam Scott) reveals even more mysteries in Lumon Industries, “his colleagues” learn the difficult consequences of trifling with the departure barrier, leading them further down a path of Veen “, which the log line teases.
