The bad news first: You can’t buy it. The good news is that if you’re a fan of the Apple TV Plus series Severance, the online Apple Store has a new Easter egg for a show full of them: the Lumon Terminal Pro. The fictional computer is featured at the top of Mac shop pages and has its own landing page.
While there’s no details about what hardware comprises the computer terminal, ostensibly made by Lumon, the cult-like company from the show, the page features a spoiler warning and a link to an 11-minute behind-the-scenes video from the show.
The series just concluded its second season on the company’s streaming service and has been renewed for a third. In the video on the Lumon Terminal Pro page, series co-creator Ben Stiller discusses how three editors turned 83 terabytes of footage into the Severance season two finale.
The finale’s marching band scene is broken down in terms of video components, and elements from the season’s seventh episode, a major visual departure on Severance, are detailed. A third segment in the video discusses how music is critical to the tone of the series.
Of course, it’s all a promo: Using a fictional, dated computer terminal from a series that Apple makes (as part of its $1 billion a year spending on Apple TV Plus content) to sell modern Apple hardware for people including video editors and music composers.
