Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed show ‘Severance,’ created by Dan Erickson, has drawn a spotlight on Nassau Community College (NCC) in New York as one of its primary filming locations. The show, which features an intriguing narrative focusing on a group of employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a procedure to bifurcate their memories between work and personal life, brilliantly showcases various locales around NCC. The college’s unique architecture and settings have provided a fitting backdrop for the show’s unconventional themes. Actress Patricia Clarkson noted, ‘NCC perfectly encapsulates the sterile yet eerily familiar ambiance needed for the narrative.’ Season 2 has recorded impressive viewership numbers, with a nearly 30% increase from its freshman season, signaling that the collaboration between the showrunners and the college has paid off in keeping audiences captivated. While the show continues to gain traction, fans are eager for further developments in the storyline, with speculation about potential cliffhangers in upcoming episodes. With filming extending to other locales such as Newfoundland and Labrador, the producers are committed to maintaining the show’s high production values and striking visuals. The use of NCC not only highlights the college’s resources but also aims to inspire local talent to explore careers in the entertainment industry. ‘We hope to encourage students to see the possibilities within the film and TV sector right here in Nassau County,’ stated NCC President Dr. Jermaine Williams. As ‘Severance’ continues to resonate with viewers, its connection to Nassau Community College exemplifies the evolving synergy between local institutions and the booming entertainment landscape.
