The 5 Best ‘Severance’ Season 2 Fan Theories (So Far)
Now that Severance season 2 is finally here, fans and theorizers alike are chewing on the new episode like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Just one click into the r/SeveranceAppleTVPlus Reddit and the flurry of recent activity will make your eyeballs spin around inside your skull. Every shirt color or stray look indicates something to the Internet sleuths trying to solve the Apple TV+ drama’s mysteries.
According to Severance creator Dan Erickson, none of the theories that he’s read so far are correct. “I love all of them and some of them are kooky, but the show is kooky, so it makes sense,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I would not say that I’ve seen anybody get it totally right. We are trying to lay down the seeds of where it’s ultimately going, and I do think that people notice that… But I don’t think that I’ve seen anything where I’m like, ‘Oh God, they got it. Time to leave the country and change my name.'”
To prove Erickson wrong, we rounded up our five favorite theories about Severance season 2 so far.
How Long Has It Been Since the Season 1 Finale?
In real time, it’s been nearly three years since Mark S. (Adam Scott) and his team experienced their Outie’s lives in the season 1 finale. In Severance, it’s only been about five months. That is, if you believe Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman).
“When Mark comes out of the elevator running, he passes the purple office area that was meant for a Lumon expansion. That area looks the exact same as it did when Helly first started,” Reddit user Choano writes. “He’s also confused by the layout of the hallways. He’s either forgotten his way around, or Lumon has had some time to move the walls, creating new arrangements of hallways.” Even stranger? “The new refiners have been there for only a few days before Mark S. shows up” and “Milchick is still setting up his new office.” Why does it feel like it’s only been a couple of days, if that?
