Before Severance, Adam Scott Starred in This Forgotten MTV Sci-Fi Series

Long before his acclaimed role as Mark S. in Severance, Adam Scott made his acting debut in a now largely forgotten MTV series from 1994 called Dead at 21. While the show may have slipped under the radar for many, it carries some striking similarities to the slow-burn paranoia of Severance.

In Dead at 21, Scott plays Dan Beard, a 20-year-old who discovers he was unknowingly part of a secret government experiment. As a child, a microchip was implanted in his brain to boost his intelligence and cognitive function. The catch? The chip is fatally flawed—it’s designed to kill its host by the age of 21.

Blending sci-fi, government conspiracy, and youthful angst, the series plays like a cyberpunk-flavored thriller that was ahead of its time, especially for MTV’s early venture into scripted drama.
