Star Wars’ Alan Tudyk has your next binge watch on deck

BBG News

In a straightforward and engaging manner: Alan Tudyk often captivates audiences, be it as the witty droid K-2SO in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” or in shows such as “Resident Alien.” When Tudyk expresses a preference for a television show, viewers typically pay close attention.

In a recent chat with CBR, Tudyk shared that his latest TV fixation is the acclaimed Apple TV+ series, “Severance”, starring Adam Scott. “I’m really into ‘Severance’ right now,” Tudyk expressed. “It’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. It left quite an impression on me.

Praise from an actor known for playing a range of roles, from a robotic outlaw to a comedic character in Shakespearean plays, is particularly meaningful. The series “Severance,” with its unsettling corporate atmosphere, intricate plot structure, and chilling performances, appears to be the kind of thought-provoking sci-fi that Tudyk is drawn to, both on a personal and professional level.

Severance, devised by Dan Erickson and featuring Ben Stiller as one of its directors, delves into the lives of Lumon Industries employees who experience a surgical process that divides their work and personal recollections. This unique setup leads to a haunting, gradual unfolding of themes such as self-identity, corporate morality, and the price paid for segmenting aspects of one’s life. The narrative is presented with stylish aesthetics and unnerving acting performances.

Alan Tudyk’s fondness for the show enhances his authenticity as a fan. Renowned for taking on nuanced and unusual roles, his affection for Severance serves as a beacon to viewers who seek captivating narratives, much like his recent Star Wars production, Andor.

In Tony Gilroy’s highly praised Star Wars project, the “space opera” genre is swapped out for a focus on slower pacing and narratives centered around well-developed characters.

As a film enthusiast who appreciates the raw, realistic vibe of Rogue One in the Star Wars universe, if you’re yearning for something similar but with less space battles and more profound philosophical turmoil, then Severance could be your perfect match. If you’re currently on a break from your Star Wars adventures and seeking a fresh sci-fi series that combines wit, satire, and insightful social commentary, Alan Tudyk has just introduced your next compelling binge-watching experience.

Certainly, if you’re in the mood for a fresh cinematic experience instead of a new TV series, I’d wholeheartedly recommend giving Superman a watch. Although it doesn’t take place in a distant galaxy, it does star Alan Tudyk… or rather, his voice!

Alan Tudyk provides the voice for Superman Robot #4, a character who assists Superman at the Fortress of Solitude. This part is entertaining, and Star Wars enthusiasts will undoubtedly enjoy Tudyk’s distinctive wit in this role.

Severance is streaming now on Apple TV+, while Superman is currently in theaters.
