Behind the Scenes: Severance with DP Jessica Lee Gagne

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Go behind the scenes of Apple TV's Severance, Season 2 with Director of Photography Jessica Lee Gagne. Gagne shares the rules for filming Severance, how they expanded the world and her experience using the Sony VENICE 2 and FX3.

Severance is a highly acclaimed TV series nominated for 14 Emmy awards in its debut season, including for cinematography. The series follows employees at the biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries that have undergone "severance"—a medical procedure that ensures they retain no memories of the outside world while at work and have no recollection of their job once they leave. This results in two distinct personalities for each employee: the "innie", who exists solely within Lumon, and the "outie", who lives their personal life outside of work.
