The TV series Severance was primarily filmed in New York and New Jersey, with several key locations used to bring its dystopian setting to life.
- The exterior of Lumon Industries, the central corporate building in the show, is filmed at the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex (now Bell Works) in Holmdel Township, New Jersey. This iconic modernist building, designed by Eero Saarinen, provides the distinctive look of Lumon Industries
- The complex interior scenes on the "severed floor"-the labyrinthine office where employees' work memories are isolated-were filmed on sets built at York Studios in the Bronx, New York. This studio setting allowed for elaborate camerawork and large-scale scenes such as the long tracking shot of the main character running through the office
- Various outdoor and town scenes were filmed in locations around the Hudson Valley and nearby areas, including Kingston, New York (used for scenes in the fictional town of Kier), Westchester County (for residential and funeral scenes), and Minnewaska State Park Preserve in Ulster County for season 2
- Some scenes for season 2, such as those set in Salt's Neck, were filmed in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
In summary, Severance uses a blend of real architectural landmarks like Bell Labs in New Jersey, studio sets in the Bronx, and diverse locations across New York State and Canada to create its unsettling and immersive world
