Severance Creator Dan Erickson Wanted To Pay Off That Finale Cliffhanger Early in Season 2
368Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for Severance Season 2 Episodes 1-4.
Apple TV+'s Severance is winding down its second season, but over these last few weeks, the series has already answered a lot of questions that were hanging out unanswered in the wake of the Season 1 finale — most importantly, what happened to Mark Scout's (Adam Scott) wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman), and what has Lumon Industries been doing to her all this time? As of now, we've uncovered more about this mystery, including what "Cold Harbor" is actually referencing and its direct connection to Gemma, but with these answers come just as many questions.
While Collider couldn't pry every reveal out of creator Dan Erickson during our chat with him ahead of the premiere of Season 2, we did get some answers from him. Over the course of the interview, which you can watch above or read below, Erickson explains why the show didn't leave the Season 1 cliffhanger unresolved for very long — and why the Severance writers are asking many of the same questions the characters do on the series. He also discusses the process of casting Keanu Reeves as the voice of the Lumon building in the "Lumon Is Listening" video, whether the new opening credits for Season 2 reveal anything in terms of spoilers, and more.
