Severance season 2 episode 1 appears to be hiding a Keanu Reeves cameo in plain sight, but is it really him?

Yeah, I'm thinking that's him. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Severance season 2 has finally arrived and, while there's plenty to discuss after its Apple TV Plus debut, fans have one big question that episode 1's release: does Keanu Reeves make a cameo?.

Yes, you read that right. Severance fans, myself included, are convinced that Reeves makes an uncredited appearance in season 2 episode 1, aka 'Hello, Ms. Cobel'. He doesn't appear in the flesh, nor does his name appear in the highly-rated Apple show's end credits, so it's hard to tell if The Matrix and John Wick actor is actually part of proceedings.

So, where and how does Reeves apparently show up? Full spoilers immediately follow for Severance's season 2 premiere, so turn back now if you haven't seen it yet. If you've watched 'Hello, Ms. Cobel', you'll have heard a very familiar voice about midway through Severance's latest episode. Indeed, it seems Reeves' distinctively calming voice can be heard when the Macrodata Refinement (MDR) team sit down to watch the animated 'Lumon is Listening' video that Lumon Industries has prepared for them.

During this felt puppet animated broadcast, an anthropomorphic version of Lumon's building discusses the changes that the sinister biotech megacorporation has made as part of 'Severance Reform'. That's the implementation of a new program that seemingly puts the wellbeing of Lumon's severed employees above everything else, for those wondering. It's at this point in one of the best Apple TV Plus shows' newest episodes that Reeves supposedly appears. Indeed, it seems he's the voice of the animated Lumon building and, as I said, many of us would recognize his voice anywhere.
