If you missed your train at Grand Central Station, blame the cast of “Severance.”
The show’s stars, Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Patricia Arquette, Britt Lower, and Tramell Tillman, shocked subway riders on Tuesday when they were put on display inside a glass cube with workstations that are identical to the setups that Lumon employees use in the series.
Each channeled their “innies” on the hit program while inside the makeshift office, ignoring gawking commuters as they “worked,” practiced yoga, played catch, sipped coffee and threw paper airplanes at one another to promote “Severance” Season 2, dropping in just three days.

Scott, Cherry, Arquette, Lower and Tillman behaved like they actually worked at Lumon Industries for about two and a half hours, with their performance starting around 4:30 p.m.
However, they weren’t the only famous ones in on the promotional gag.
Ben Stiller, 59, was also on hand for the pop-up.
The “Meet The Parents” star is an executive producer and also the director of creator Dan Erickson’s psychological thriller/sci-fi series.
Stiller was caught on camera, looking like a proud papa, as he recorded the actors inside the makeshift workspace, watching between the translucent cubes with passersby — and his presence didn’t go unnoticed.

“Can we take a moment to acknowledge Ben Stiller filming the Severance pop-up in NYC like a proud dad?” one TikTok user captioned an adorable video of the actor from the terminal.
Several fans took to social media to applaud the clever and surprising pop-up.
