Spoiler Alert !!!The following article features heavy spoilers from Severance Season 2!

When Severance debuted on Apple TV+, it gave leaving everything at work a completely new meaning. “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy”- certainly didn’t apply to the employees at Lumon, who spent all of their lives inside the painfully white rooms and a plus-shaped cubicle.

Ben Stiller’s psychological sci-fi concept was a slow burn for sure, which seemed like a regular office worker’s fantasy come true. However, the seemingly obscure and mundane storyline would go on to turn heads by the end of the first season.

By the time Stiller came up with Season 2, the hype meter was already quite high. Each episode ramped up the intensity as viewers explored the mysterious halls of Lumon and uncovered more of Eagan’s secrets,...

With series like "Severance" and "Slow Horses," Apple TV+ has a great library of original programming that continues to grow. However, between making your way through episodes of "Ted Lasso" or "Shrinking," you may have overlooked the streamer's period drama "Pachinko." Adapted from the best-selling 2017 novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee, the story's East Asian setting, including Korea, and heartbreaking emotional beats make it perfect for any K-drama fan. Keeping that in mind, it's also important to point out that, despite its cast and setting, "Pachinko" is not quite technically a K-drama itself.

"Pachinko" has its narrative split across two time periods centered on matriarch Kim Sunja and her family. In the past, a younger Sunja (Kim Min-ha) endures the brutal Japanese occupation of Korea and being forced to relocate to Japan while pregnant with the illegitimate son of the Japan-based Korean mobster Koh Hansu (Lee Min-ho). As World War II begins,...

The sequence of events that culminated in the SeveranceSeason 2 finale, “Cold Harbor,” left one of the scene’s key players with a bit of a sore throat. In the final act of the finale of the Apple TV+ series, Innie Mark (Adam Scott) has to choose between staying inside Lumon with Helly R. (Britt Lower) and leaving, effectively ending his existence, to be with Outie Mark’s wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman).

In a gut-wrenching scene, Gemma escapes Lumon’s severed floor with the help of Innie Mark, regaining all of her memories of the life she had with Outie Mark. She then pleads for Innie Mark to walk through the door to be with her. However, Innie Mark ultimately makes the decision to stay inside Lumon where he will, for now, be alive. For Lachman, the scene took a toll on her voice.

Television has always been a medium designed for water-cooler conversation, but when it comes to a show like “Severance,” conversation can quickly turn to obsession. Though executive producer and director Ben Stiller is known to engage in the fervor on social media, most of the cast have abstained, however, in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the show’s lead, Adam Scott, did admit he was keeping up with the fandom as best he could.

“I was a huge ‘Lost’ fan and huge ‘Twilight Zone’ person, so I totally get it,” he said. “I don’t really dive into all the theories and stuff on this, but I have seen some on Instagram, which is usually video of a podcast where they’re really diving into one theory or the other. Also, all of the artwork that people are making, it’s overwhelming and incredible. Whenever I see one on Instagram,...

This article contains Spoilers for Severance Season 2, Episode 10, "Cold Harbor."

The highly-anticipated Season 2 of Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed Severancehas come and gone as the finale premiered on March 21. The finale’s closing scene saw Innie Mark (Adam Scott) run off with Helly R. (Britt Lower) after rescuing his outie’s wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), from the testing floor at Lumon - a choice that may have had some fans scratching their heads.

Innie Mark displayed some interesting behavior prior to the finale as he couldn’t tell the difference between Helly and her outie, Helena Eagan, during a Lumon retreat. That mix-up, as well as a scene at the end of Severance’s ninth Season 2 episode, had fans wondering which version - Helly or Helena - was at the door during that pivotal final scene.

At the end of Episode 9, titled “The After Hours,” Helly, in the macrodata refinement office,...

Adam Scott has a specific method when it comes to concealing Severance spoilers from his family.

The 51-year-old-actor revealed how he kept the “juicy details” of season 2 of the hit Apple TV+ show hidden from his wife, Naomi, and their two children, Frankie and Graham.

“I have Zoom [meetings] that I have to be on with like Ben [Stiller] and Dan [Erickson] — all the creatives on the show. And my family doesn’t want to hear anything so I have to go into a closet literally and do work,” Adam told Jimmy Kimmel the day before the season 2 finale aired.

“[They] don’t want to hear anything because it’s actually the first thing I’ve been a part of that they’re interested in,” he joked.

If you didn’t know, the season 2 finale of Severance almost turned out much differently.

The final scene in the Season 2 finale of Severancenearly didn’t play out the way viewers witnessed it when it premiered on March 21. In “Cold Harbor,” Innie Mark (Adam Scott) is left to make a decision - walk through the door and follow his outie’s wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), to the outside world, effectively killing Innie Mark, or stay in Lumon to face whatever will come with Helly R. (Britt Lower).

In the end, Innie Mark chooses his own life and leaves a crying Gemma by herself in the outside world. In an interview with Variety, Ben Stiller, who directed the finale, titled “Cold Harbor,” equated Mark’s decision to stay with Helly “young love running into the pit of hell.”

That moment, however, almost didn’t take place as Stiller, who is also an executive producer of Severance,...

The season 2 finale of "Severance" ended with one hell of a moral dilemma: should Innie Mark escape with his outtie's wife Gemma, or should he return to Helly to enjoy whatever remains of his life on the inside? In a pure utilitarian sense, it would be better if he left with Gemma. That way Outtie Mark could get her out of the building safely and explain to her everything that's been going on. This is the best shot these characters have of taking down Lumon; it's also the best chance they've got at keeping Gemma alive, considering she'll be targeted hard by Lumon in the season to come. 

Instead, Innie Mark turns around and chooses Helly, all while Gemma pleads with him from outside the door. It's not clear how much of this situation Gemma even understands, since nobody has told her that Mark is severed. Still, it must sting...

This article contains surprisingly gory spoilers for "Severance" season 2, episode 10 -- "Cold Harbor" 

Like just about every other sci-fi thriller out there, "Severance" has been known to get its hands dirty on occasion. However, the show is nowhere near as bloody as you'd expect from a dystopian show about manipulated low-level workers struggling against a powerful megacorporation with a built-in religious cult and intentions of global dominance. In fact, I'd argue that a relative lack of physical brutality is a large part of the series' allure, as it allows "Severance" to focus on the impending sense of white collar doom that's both its crooked backbone and its greatest asset. But what would "Severance" look like if it woke up and chose violence? How would this impact the show's atmosphere going forward? 

The "Severance" season 2 finale, "Cold Harbor," sets out to answer these questions and more by releasing a generous dose...

Fans of the Dan Erickson-created Apple TV+ series, Severance, had to wait nearly three years for a second season of the acclaimed sci-fi thriller. Season 1 ended in April 2022 with the iconic “She’s alive” moment in which Innie Mark (Adam Scott) realized that his outie’s wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), was, in fact, Ms. Casey, who worked at Lumon. Season 2 finally premiered in January 2025 and wrapped up its second season on March 21 with the finale “Cold Harbor.”

In an interview with Variety, Erickson addressed the long gap between seasons and if that could happen again. Severance was, just hours after the finale aired, renewed for a third season. When asked if the team was taking steps to make sure that there wouldn’t be such a large space between seasons this time, Erickson said, “There are.”

Picture this: you're an employee in a stark office building, tasked to monitor seemingly nonsensical data on a computer screen. All you need to do is press appropriate buttons on your keyboard without question, and repeat the process till you reach a certain quota. That is until one day, something strange and untoward happens, making you question the very fabric of your existence and immediate reality. No, this is not a peek into the purpose of the MicroData Refinement (Mdr) department in "Severance," but the contextual premise of "The Stanley Parable," the critically acclaimed video game that positions choice at its center. The similarities between the Apple TV+ show and the brilliant indie game don't stop here, as these thematic overlaps exist for a reason. Turns out, "Severance" creator Dan Erickson drew inspiration from "The Stanley Parable," as confirmed in a 2022 Reddit Ama.

It is impossible to narrow down the core of "Severance" to a few overarching themes. The Apple TV+ series has never shied away from tackling complex notions of identity, often shaped by grief, loss, cult-like devotion, or the ills of living in an aggressive capitalist culture. The very idea of severance as a procedure raises ethical questions, as those who willingly chose it were not fully made aware of what they were getting into. Lumon Industries, the terrible, conniving evil that looms over the world of the show, has its claws hooked into a dozen malpractices that are masked as pioneering feats of progress. Every victim that Lumon has claimed has been an experimental guinea pig for them, serving some sort of hidden purpose while being constantly abused and lied to. However, one particular social demographic has suffered the brunt of Lumon's grand and evil scheme: women.

If the Season 2 finale of Severance had you seeing red, that's exactly what the producers intended.

The bold new color palette — which was introduced so memorably in the final frame of the episode — was just one of the burning questions discussed in a standing room only Q&a on Saturday with the Apple TV+ series' creative team at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, following a screening of the Season 2 finale. The panel included executive producer and director Ben Stiller; creator, executive producer, and writer Dan Erickson; executive producer and actor Adam Scott; executive producer and actor Patricia Arquette; and actors Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Gwendoline Christie, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, and Sarah Bock.

The final scene in the Season 2 finale of Apple TV+’s Severancesaw Innie Mark (Adam Scott) making his choice to stay inside Lumon with Helly R. (Britt Lower) instead of going outside the severed floor with his outie’s wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman). Fans were left shocked after, at the beginning of Season 2, Innie Mark seemed like he wanted to help reunite his outie and his wife, who was thought to have died in a car accident.

As Innie Mark chooses to stay inside Lumon instead of effectively ending his existence by going outside with Gemma, the question of whom the audience should side with - Innie Mark or Outie Mark - is raised.

On the Apple TV+ series Severance, Adam Scott's character, Mark Scout, does mysterious and important work in the Macrodata Refinement department of Lumon Industries. The work involves organizing clusters of numbers to finish files, which Season 2, Episode 7 hinted at being different Innies for Gemma Scout. But the series still didn't answer what the numbers mean specifically, until the Season 2 finale.

Finishing the 25th and last file, Cold Harbor, is a big deal for Lumon. It brings a new age for the Eagan fanatics and maybe even a new product for the outside world. It's been known for a while that Cold Harbor would be a new Innie for Gemma, but what type of Innie was left up for debate. It's...

Season 1 of Severancesaw the (failed) reintegration of former Lumon severed worker Petey (Yul Vasquez), but that didn’t stop Mark Scout (Adam Scott) from deciding to go through with the reintegration procedure with the help of former Lumon employee Asal Reghabi (Karen Aldridge). As a severed worker, Mark had a separate “innie” who worked on Lumon’s severed floor and an “outie” who lived in the outside world.

Flash forward to Season 2’s third episode, Outie Mark seemed fully committed to reintegrating his two selves, but as of the Season 2 finale, the process has not fully been completed. In the opening act of the finale, titled “Cold Harbor,” Outie Mark promises Innie Mark he will completely reintegrate.

Season 2 of "Severance" just came to a spectacular end, but that isn't stopping the passionate fanbase from scouring every single inch of the last episode for hidden clues and deeper meaning that more casual audiences may have missed. The Apple TV+ drama has constantly rewarded observant -- some may say obsessive -- viewers, leaving all the mysterious goings-on over at Lumon Industries just ambiguous enough to support even the most outlandish fan-theories out there. Allusions to real-life conspiracy theories, never-ending speculation surrounding those pesky goats, and questions surrounding the exact nature of Cold Harbor are likely going to continue keeping those folks awake at night ... but at least one recurring belief that's been popping up on social media in the wake of the finale can now be safely considered debunked.

The finale, titled “Cold Harbor," left viewers clutching their proverbial pearls as Innie Mark S. (Adam Scott) chose Helly R.

When on the testing floor, Lumon’s severed workers become their “outies” and Mark Scout is temporarily reunited with Gemma.

Fans of Severance have been put through the emotional ringer this season! From complex innie-outie-unsevered throuples to life-altering brain trauma, this season delivered on every promise made by its predecessor: you get the main questions answered, only for a new batch to spring up in its place.

The final test of its vigor was the ending, which had big shoes to fill after the stunning production of the season 1 finale. At least, director Ben Stiller and showrunner Dan Erickson promise, we won't have to wait another three years for the next season, which was confirmed by Apple CEO Tim Cook on the morning of March 21 on Twitter, followed by a 20-second teaser which was also posted to AppleTV's YouTube channel.

The wait for season 2 of Severance was agonizing, to say the least, and similar will be the case for the third season. At least, unlike the inaugural season, instead of leaving fans on the fence for the nth time, the showrunners did leave us with a bittersweet conclusion, while still maintaining the uncertainty that lies ahead for the innies.

The “Music Dance Experience” from Severance’sSeason 1 episode, “Defiant Jazz,” has spawned countless memes and GIFs showcasing actor Tramell Tillman’s Mr. Milchick’s impressive dancing skills. That scene, while hard to duplicate or top, was given a run for its money in the Season 2 finale. The tenth episode of the Apple TV+ series once again highlighted the versatility of the manager of Lumon’s severed floor.

A surprise standout in the season 2 finale of "Severance" was Gwendoline Christie's Lorne. Introduced as a mysterious woman in charge of Lumon's oddly-placed goat farm (which sparked plenty of fan theories), Lorne turned into an unexpected ally for Mark S. (Adam Scott) here. Her standout scene is when she points a gun at the terrifying Mr. Drummond (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), rescuing Mark S. from certain death in the process. Yes, Mr. Drummond manages to disarm her, but she still gets to beat him up shortly afterward.

The fight is raw and brutal, not unlike a certain famous fight scene Gwendoline Christie got to perform on "Game of Thrones." There, her character Brienne of Tarth finds herself in a fight to the death with Sandor "The Hound" Clegane, and Brienne just barely manages to pull out a win.

Gemma has finally escaped — sort of.

The “Severance” Season 2 finale gave us the reunion we were waiting for all season. After both Mark’s innie and outie alternate navigating through Lumon’s maze of hallways to find Gemma (Dichen Lachman) on the Testing Floor, the couple start to make their escape together.

For Gemma, a former professor, the escape follows a distressing period of captivity at Lumon after the company faked her death in order to kidnap her, isolated her from the outside world and fractured her mind into several innies. But in that time, her husband Mark (Adam Scott) also became severed in order to deal with mourning her loss, and his innie developed a relationship with Helly (Britt Lower) that creates the pivotal dilemma at the end of Season 2.

Once the two are...

Coming just hours after the show’s Season 2 finale shook fans, the “Severance” PaleyFest panel rocked the Dolby Theatre by unleashing a live marching band number — recreating a memorable moment from the episode.

Tramell Tillman, who plays Mr. Milchick, led a marching band through the Dolby Theatre. Prior to the sudden performance, Tillman had been the only one out of the cast and creative team to not show up on stage when his name was called. Just as the panel was getting started — and after Stiller explained that the actor “goes off the grid” at times — Tillman made his entrance with the band.

The Season 2 finale, which was released the day prior to the panel, involves Mr. Milchick acting as a drum major during an elaborate marching band sequence.

The panel was preceded by a screening of the season finale and included creator Dan Erickson and executive producer and director Ben Stiller,...

Spring is a time for new beginnings, on TV as in life.

The weather shifts, the days grow longer, and fresh possibilities fill the air. A Hollywood satire starring A-listers? Shows with “mob” and “murder” in the title?

From innies and outies to characters who are entirely unsevered (as far as we know), you can count on nearly every "Severance" character to face untold existential hurdles that few mere mortals are equipped to comprehend, let alone handle. Unless a character is armed with the ironclad self-obsession of Ricken Hale (Michael Chernus) or the megalomaniac devotion of Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry), the world Lumon Industries created seems custom designed to grind a person down.

Speaking in a recent interview in the Los Angeles Times, Lachman believed that after the finale sees Mark’s innie choose Helly R. over his outie’s wife, many viewers might hope the writers find a way to maintain a dynamic between all three (or four or five or 29 depending on your perception of how severance works).

“I think people will be pitching a throuple situation maybe, where they can all live together,” said Lachman. “I...

Mr. Milkshake is bringing the USC band to the yard.

Fresh off the Severance Season 2 finale, Tramell Tillman is showing off his real-life talent for “choreography and merriment.” The actor on Saturday led USC’s marching band into the show’s PaleyFest panel at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, channeling his character’s own finale plotline.

Heading into Season 2, “Severance” star Tramell Tillman had one request for series creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller: “Please don’t make me dance in Season 2.”

“The Music Dance Experience [in Season 1] was so iconic, and I loved how people embraced that moment,” Tillman told TheWrap. “It has become meme-ed over and over and over again, it’s on T-shirts and whatnot. It’s beautiful. But there are some things that you can’t recreate.”

Tillman was adamant that he didn’t want to set up the expectation that Mr. Milchick dances every season. But when Stiller mentioned he was bringing in a marching band for the Season 2 finale, Tillman started to change his tune.

“I got excited. I sat up. I said, ‘Well, wait, what is this marching band? Is this a military-style marching band? Is this a band that’s a similar to those at HBCUs?...

The Severance Season 2 finale, “Cold Harbor,” answered a lot of burning questions fans had, including what Cold Harbor actually is and (sort of) what’s going on with those goats. Fans got other resolutions in prior episodes as well, including the answer to where Gemma (Dichen Lachman) has been all the time and why Harmony (Patricia Arquette) felt so slighted by Lumon firing her (and why Helena — Britt Lower — still offered her a job to placate her).

The ending was beautifully, emotionally presented, but left fans with yet another epic cliffhanger to digest for the next little while until a not-yet-confirmed Season 3 arrives (it’s likely the show will be renewed). There are plenty of questions that remain, but one big, new question has arrived that’s crucial to how the story will move forward.

When Season 2 of Severancepremiered on Apple TV+ in January, viewers likely didn’t know what they were in store for when it came to the finale. After a gripping sequence of events, Innie Mark S. (Adam Scott) ultimately decides to complete the “Cold Harbor” file to free Gemma (Dichen Lachman) from Lumon. Gemma, while at Lumon, was tasked with going from room to room - each one with a different “innie” persona from having had the severance procedure that separates a person’s brain into “innies” and “outies.”

,

The final scenes in the 10th episode of Severance’s second season saw Mark S. have to make the ultimate choice. In the end, Mark succeeds in freeing Gemma, who leaves the severed floor and pleads to Mark S. to go outside with her. Afraid that he will cease to exist, Mark S.

“Severance” Season 2 ended on yet another cliffhanger and there might be a long wait before clocking back in at Lumon.

The show is being heralded as one of the best shows of the decade already, and with good reason. Something that good is bound to leave a big hole of what to binge next in anyone’s life. Luckily, there are plenty of TV gems that are somehow still woefully under-watched.

Below, check out a number of shows, from “The Leftovers” to “Station Eleven” that might make the wait for more “Severance” just a little easier.

HBO The Leftovers

There are already a lot of people calling “Severance” one of the best shows of the 2020s, and the people that know, know “The Leftovers” was the best show of the 2010s. The series explores the emotional apocalypse of people left in the wake of a phenomenon called The Sudden Departure,...

[This story contains major spoilers from the season two finale of Severance, “Cold Harbor.”]

On the same day that the final episode of Severance‘s second season arrived on Apple TV+, the show’s cast and creative team united at PaleyFest LA for a conversation about that ending.

Stars Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Sarah Bock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus, Gwendoline Christie and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson were all on hand at the Friday night event at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, alongside director/EP Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson.

The group sat down for a chat moderated by Ben Schwartz, who worked with Scott on Parks and Recreation, as Stiller noted the event was the first time truly celebrating the show publicly because the first season debuted during the pandemic and the season two premiere was cancelled due to the L.A. wildfires.

To add to the night, Tillman — who plays floor manager Seth...

Please try to enjoy the following major spoilers equally. This article discusses events from the season 2 finale of "Severance."

Phew, everyone take a breath. Three years ago, "Severance" season 1 built to an unforgettable cliffhanger that seemed to shake up the entire series moving forward. Season 2 has taken a rather more deliberate approach from week to week, taking time for huge detours such as the flashback-heavy episode 7 or the surprising (though somewhat less effective) origin story for a certain Ms. Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette). By the end, however, things ramped up at a precipitous pace and left us on an even bigger cliffhanger than before. While rescuing Gemma (Dichen Lachman) from the clutches of Lumon Industries, Mark S. (Adam Scott) makes an abrupt, last-minute decision that could have larger ramifications to come. Just when it seemed like the plan had gone off without a hitch, our favorite innie decides to leave...

Fans are thrilled that Adam Scott finally got the chance to showcase his serious side in Severance, proving he’s more than just a comedy star. But ironically, it was his comedic background that helped him land the role. According to Ben Stiller, Scott’s ability to balance humor and emotion made him the perfect fit.

His experience in Parks and Recreation and Step Brothers may have built his reputation for laughs, but it also gave him the skills to tackle the eerie, mind-bending world of Severance!

Step Brothers is how Adam Scott convinced Ben Stiller to cast him in Severance!

Before Severance turned Adam Scott into a dramatic powerhouse, he was best known for his impeccable comedic timing in films and TV shows like Parks and Recreation, Party Down, Sleeping with Other People, and Friends with Kids.

But...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 10 of “Severance,” streaming now on Apple TV+.

Tramell Tillman was done dancing.

After his “Severance” character, Mr. Milchick, conducted a memorable and oft-memed “Music Dance Experience” in the Apple TV+ show’s first season, he didn’t think it was possible to catch lightning in a bottle again.

But when director and executive producer Ben Stiller pitched him on a marching band sequence in the Season 2 finale, “Cold Harbor,” Tillman saw an opportunity to tap into his roots. “I went to two HBCUs, and one of them was Jackson State University. They housed the Sonic Boom of the South, one of the best marching bands in the country, and I would watch them during my undergrad years with such awe and amazement in the athleticism, the creativity and the passion that these musicians and dancers served with,” he tells Variety.

Warning: The Following Contains Spoilers for Severance Season 2, Episode 10, "Cold Harbor"The Season 2 finale of Severance brought its sophomore run to a close with a surprisingly bloody ending and some truly shocking twists that even Gemma's Apple TV+ show Outie, actress Dichen Lachman, found "heartbreaking." One of those moments came at the episode's close when Innie Mark S. (Adam Scott) had to decide whether to escape through the exit door with his Outie's wife Gemma after successfully rescuing her from the testing floor and navigating her to safety, or whether to run off into the proverbial sunset with Helly R. (Britt Lower), who he has formed an emotional bond with during office hours. After an agonizing wait, the episode ends with Mark and Helly galloping through the halls of Lumon Industries while Gemma is tragically left on the outside looking in.
