Harmony Cobel returns to the former ether factory town where she was born. Since the factory's closure, the town has become severely economically depressed, and most of its residents have either left or are themselves addicted to ether after a lifetime of exposure to the fumes in the factory. This situation has a real-life corporate analogy in Purdue Pharma, a pharmaceutical company that knowingly exposed the public to the extremely addictive painkiller OxyContin under the pretense that it was nonaddictive; the resulting opioid dependencies led to many formerly thriving small American towns being overrun by poverty, crime, and addiction. Like Lumon, Purdue was run by a single, multigenerational family, the Sacklers.

Most of the series is set in the fictional town of Kier, PE. Though the show is confirmed to take place in the United States (Helly R. mentions the state of Delaware; characters use US money; addresses include standard American zip codes), there is no state with the postal abbreviation PE (PE actually is the postal abbreviation for the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island). The town's name is drawn from the character of Kier Eagan, the founder of Lumon Industries and a godlike figure to some characters.

The department offices on the severed floor were deliberately designed to be oversized, but with low ceilings and the characters positioned at the center of the space to create an atmosphere of isolation and confinement. The offices and corridors were initially designed to look symmetrical, but subtle asymmetrical elements such as oddly protruding walls were added to create a fragmented, unsettling feeling.

The opening running sequence of season 2 was achieved with a mix of various elements: a man running with the camera alongside Adam Scott, a treadmill, VFX to widen the corridors and stitch the shots together, and a robotic camera rig that moved around Scott's head so fast that he had to rehearse his movements very specifically to avoid possible injury.

Over the first two seasons, many people noticed the appearance of minor characters whose names correspond to people from the English Premier League football club Arsenal. These included Senator Angelo Arteta (manager Mikel Arteta), Arteta's children Declan (Declan Rice) and Kai (Kai Havertz), Mr. Saliba (William Saliba), the door factory owner Dylan interviews with, and Bukayo (Bukayo Saka), a prominent member of the marching band in the season 2 finale. It is not known whether anyone involved in the series is an Arsenal F.C. fan, or whether the first few instances were coincidences and the writers continued the joke on purpose once it was pointed out. It is also worth noting that at the time the first season aired (2022), neither Declan Rice nor Kai Havertz had joined the club, but they did shortly afterward.

The title comes from the "severance package," meaning the pay and benefits employees may be entitled to when they involuntarily leave their jobs at a company. In addition to their remaining regular salary, it may include some of the following: any additional payment based on months of service, payment for unused accrued PTO vacation time, vacation pay or sick leave unless the employee is taken on by a new buyer (with all benefits the responsibility of the new employer), COBRA insurance or health care benefits for a certain period, payment in lieu of a required notice period, retirement accounts, stock options, commission payments, access to employment services, or job-search assistance such as help with a résumé.

Creator Dan Erickson said Tramell Tillman's portrayal of Seth Milchick made him expand the character's role in the story. He explained, "The character of Milchick specifically was a character that in the pilot I was like, 'Okay, he's funny, but he's going to be sort of Cobel's right hand and I don't know if we'll carry him through. I don't know if he'll become a major character necessarily.' The line where he says, 'You and Peter were one of my favorite office friendships,' I think that was used in the audition. I could be wrong, but one of those. It was a line that Tramell read so perfectly that suddenly I was like, 'Oh, that's Milchick.' And now he's one of the most important characters on the show."

Although the background music that plays throughout the series has musical similarities and references to David Shire's score for the Francis Ford Coppola movie,The Conversation (1974), 1974 starring Gene Hackman, it is composed by Theodore Shapiro. The similarity in musical motifs relate to the harmony and dissonance of the outie and innie existences, and themes of paranoia throughout Coppola's movie and Severance.

Series creator Dan Erickson said that Tramell Tillman's portrayal of Seth Milchick led him to expand the character's role in the story. Erickson said, "The Milchick character was funny in the pilot episode, but I thought he would remain Cobel's right-hand man and might not turn into a major character. Tramell's reading of the line 'You and Peter were one of my favorite friendships in the office' at the audition was so perfect that I suddenly said, 'That's Milchick.' Now he has become one of the most important characters in the series."

The offices and corridors were initially designed to appear symmetrical, but subtle asymmetrical elements, such as walls that protrude oddly, were added to create a fragmented, unsettling feeling.

The opening running sequence of the second season was achieved through a combination of several elements: a camera operator running with Adam Scott, a treadmill, VFX to extend the corridors and stitch the shots together, and a robotic camera rig that moved around Scott's head so quickly that he had to rehearse his movements in a very specific way to avoid possible injury.

Red and blue colors form an intense and continuous theme throughout every episode, set in opposition to each other. This may be a visual reference to the duality of the characters' severed memories, or a metaphorical allegory for perceptions of heaven and hell. Notable examples: the lights flashing red and blue at office reward parties, the two fish in Mark's severed aquarium, one red and one blue, Helly's red hair contrasting with her constant blue clothing, and even Mark's car being parked between two vehicles, one red and one blue, in the first episode.

During the course of the first two seasons, many noticed the appearance of minor characters with names corresponding to those of people from the English Premier League football club Arsenal. These included Senator Angelo Arteta (manager Mikel Arteta), Arteta's children Declan (Declan Rice) and Kai (Kai Havertz), Mr. Saliba, a door factory owner Dylan has a job interview with (William Saliba), and a prominently featured member of the marching band from the season 2 finale, Bukayo (Bukayo Saka). It is not known if anyone involved with the show is a fan of Arsenal F.C., or if the first couple of occurrences were a coincidence and the writers continued with it as an in-joke when it was pointed out. Also, it should be noted that at the time the first season aired (2022), neither Declan Rice nor Kai Havertz were members of the club, but did join soon after.

Over the course of the first season, it was revealed that many "outie" businesses and neighborhoods are named after various members of the Eagan family (the founders and subsequent CEOs of Lumon). The town in which the show is set is named Kier, after Lumon founder Kier Eagen. Imogene Eagan, the wife of Lumon founder Kier Eagan, is the namesake of a soap store, "Swab Girl" (in the mythology of the corporation, Kier and Imogene are said to have met while both working at an ether factory where she was a "swab girl" who cleaned out the ether vats). Myrtle Eagan, a daughter of Lumon founder Kier Eagan and Lumon's third CEO, is the namesake of the Myrtle Eagan School for Girls (of which Harmony Cobel is an alumna) and the Myrtle Eagan Credit Union. Baird Eagan, Lumon's fourth CEO, is the namesake of Baird Creek Manor (the Kier neighborhood where both Mark Scout and Mrs. Selvig live). Gerhardt Eagan, the fifth CEO of Lumon, is the namesake of Gerhardt's Restaurant, where Alexa and Mark go on a date. Phillip "Pip" Eagan, the sixth CEO of Lumon, is the namesake of Pip's Bar and Grille, where Mark goes after getting a gift card from Lumon as consolation for a workplace injury. Leonora Eagan, the seventh CEO of Lumon, is the namesake of Leonora Lake, the neighborhood where Irving Bailiff lives.

The colors red and blue are a heavily and persistently appearing theme in every episode in contrast to one another, possibly as a visual allusion to the duality of the character's severed memories, or as a metaphorical allegory to perceptions of heaven and hell, a loose theme of the series. Notable occurrences: During office prize parties, the lights flicker red and blue, Mark's segregated fish tank has two fish: one red, the other blue, Helly's red hair against her consistently blue outfits, and even Mark's car in episode one parked between a red and blue vehicle, to name only a few.

Contains a major spoiler — show
After Helly R. refines her data and meets her goal, a short animated video of Kier Eagan providing words of encouragement plays on her screen. He says, "I knew you could do it, Helly R. Even in your darkest moments, I could see you arriving here. In refining your macrodata file, you have brought glory to this company and to me, Kier Eagan. I love you. But now I must away, for there are others who need me around the world. Goodbye, Helly R., and thank you." At the point this happens in the show, the fact that Kier tells Helly that he loves her is meant to be taken as an example of over-effusive corporate incentive-speak in general or as a reference to Kier's own work philosophies in particular--in his "Compliance" text, meant to be a manual for how his employees should comport themselves in work and life, he writes, "Endow in each swing of your ax or swipe of your pen the sum of your affections, that through me they may be purified and returned. No higher purpose may be found than this. Nor any higher love. This, after all, is the ultimate recompense for your labor. No monetary wage that I may give you can surmount the benefit of the pure love which can only exist between a worker and his employer. It is the only kind of truly selfless love." But eventually it is revealed that there is another, more conventionally familial meaning behind Kier's statement of love for Helly: toward the end of season 1 we learn that she is the daughter of Lumon CEO Jame Eagan and a descendant of founder Kier Eagan.

Even in your darkest moments, I could see you coming here. By refining your macrodata file, you have brought honor to this company and to me, Kier Eagan. I love you. But now I must go, because there are others all over the world who need me. Goodbye, Helly R. And thank you." At the point in the series where this happens, Kier telling Helly he loves her is meant to be taken as an example of the overly effusive corporate pep talk in general, or specifically as a reference to Kier's own work philosophies — in the "Compliance" text, intended as a handbook for how his employees should behave at work and in life, it says: "Bestow the sum of your love with every swing of your axe or movement of your pen, so that no higher purpose can be found. Nor, in the end, is there a higher love than the ultimate reward for your labor. No monetary wage I can give you is the only kind of love that can exist between a worker and an employer." In the end, however, there turns out to be a more traditionally familial meaning behind Kier's declaration of love for Helly: toward the end of season 1, we learn that she is the daughter of Lumon CEO Jame Eagan and a descendant of founder Kier Eagan.
