Music of Severance

The music of Severance, an American Apple TV+ science fiction psychological thriller television series created by Dan Erickson and executive produced and primarily directed by Ben Stiller, is centered around an award-winning score composed by Theodore Shapiro which combines traditional, jazz, and electronic elements. Curated by music supervisor George Drakoulias, the show also incorporates existing songs from artists like I Monster, Billie Holiday, Mose Allison, The Stone Roses, Joe McPhee, The Who, and Antônio Carlos Jobim.

On YouTube, Apple TV has released various mixes of Shapiro's soundtrack. In September 2023, an eight-hour-long loop of Shapiro's Severance theme was released. In February 2025, American electronic dance music duo Odesza released a 23-minute-long remix of Shapiro's score, coinciding with the airing of the television series' second season. Additionally, Apple Music released a playlist, titled "Defiant Jazz," inspired by the first season's seventh episode of the same name.
