Get ready to clock in for the weirdest, most surreal workday of your life. Just in time for Pride Month, director Wrex Oliver is dropping his debut gay feature film, Sexerance, and it’s a brilliant, taboo-twisting take on the hit Apple TV+ series Severance. Produced for SayUncle, this isn’t just a parody; it’s a full-blown corporate nightmare reimagined as a seductive, mind-bending puzzle.
A Job You Can’t Remember
The premise is as captivating as its source material. Imagine a company, Cumon Industries, where employees voluntarily undergo a procedure called “sexerance.” This neat little brain surgery splits your memories in two: your work self (your “innie”) has no clue about your personal life, and your home self (your “outie”) is completely oblivious to what happens from 9 to 5. It’s the ultimate work-life balance… or is it?
The genius twist? The four main employees—played by Nicholas Michaels, Eddie Patrick, Gage Palmer, and Cole Connor—aren’t just colleagues. They’re a tangled web of stepdads and a stepson who are blissfully unaware of their family connection once they step onto the sanitized office floor. The result is a hotbed of free-use relationships and forbidden exploration where identity is as fluid as the office coffee.
“We’re huge fans of Severance and its eerie, corporate dystopia,” a SayUncle representative said. “We couldn’t resist giving it a wild, sexy twist in true SayUncle style.”
The Director’s Challenge
For director Wrex Oliver, bringing this high-concept world to life was a monumental task, especially for his first full-length gay feature. He wasn’t just directing scenes; he was building a believable universe that honors the tone of the original show while pushing it into entirely new, erotic territory.
“This might have been my most challenging project to date—and not for the reason you think,” Oliver shared. “Helming a movie is one thing; making a credible take-off of such a fascinating and popular series is quite another.”
The project taps into a growing trend in adult entertainment: creator-driven parodies that are more than just spoofs. Like Severance, which has captivated audiences with its deep lore and mystery-box narrative, Sexerance aims to hook viewers with its story, characters, and the unnerving question of what’s really going on at Cumon Industries.
Inside Cumon Industries
Instead of a traditional movie drop, SayUncle cleverly released Sexerance in an episodic format across its different channels, building buzz and letting fans piece the mystery together. With episode titles like “Refine My Huge Macrodata,” “My Outie Is Your Stepdad,” and “Flip the Switch, Trade Your Bitch,” the studio has perfectly captured the blend of sterile corporate jargon and raw sexuality that makes the concept so unique.
This staggered release strategy has kept fans on social media buzzing, eagerly dissecting each new scene and speculating on the characters’ true relationships. The final installment just dropped, setting the stage for the full, uninterrupted feature.
If you’re ready to see what happens when the lines between work, life, and family completely dissolve, the full feature of Sexerance is set to debut on July 10 at SayUncle.com. For a peek into this twisted world, you can follow the studio’s updates on X and Instagram at @sayunclenetwork.
“Sexerance pushes boundaries while paying homage to a show we genuinely love,” the studio representative added. “We can’t wait for our fans to see this upcoming feature that’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before.”
