If you’ve been on social media at all in the past day, then you’ve likely seen the viral videos of the Severance actors reenacting the popular show inside a glass cubicle smack-dab in the middle of Grand Central Terminal.
The good news is that if you missed the iconic moment, you can still catch a glimpse of the activation at Vanderbilt Hall today. The bad news? The exhibition-slash-marketing ploy will officially shut down tonight at 8pm.

This is all happening ahead of the release of the second season of Severance, which is premiering on January 17 on Apple TV+. In the psychological thriller starring Adam Scott, John Turturro and Patricia Arquette, a company implants chips inside its employees’ brains that basically split their personalities into at-work and outside-of-work ones.
The Grand Central Terminal cubicle is pretty impressive: it looks exactly like the offices seen on the show, complete with those uniquely futuristic computers. Yesterday, actual Severance actors were inside the spaces but, today, more “generic” folks can be seen inside arguing, working and having conversations. Just a regular day at the office in the middle of one of NYC’s most trafficked transportation hubs. We are, of course, still holding out for the possibility that there will be more surprises today.
Heads up: trying to chat with on-site security personnel and some of the commuters might… surprise you? Let’s just say, the Severance universe extends beyond the confines of the glass cubicle.
