Severance Season 2 Cast Member Confesses He Has Never Watched the Series

Overview

Actor John Turturro, known for his role in Severance, has not viewed the series, allowing him to sidestep spoilers.
This unique situation fosters amusing interactions during interviews with fellow cast members.
Director Ben Stiller has announced that work on Season 3 of Severance is underway, much to the delight of eager fans.

In an age where streaming series dominate the screen, it’s quite unexpected to find a prominent figure who hasn’t watched the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series, Severance. As anticipation builds for the upcoming Season 2 premiere, which arrives shortly, the show’s powerful mix of suspense and intrigue has captivated audiences since its outstanding debut on February 18, 2022.

Under the creative vision of Dan Erickson and the directorial expertise of Ben Stiller, Severance explores the life of Mark Scout, a widower and former educator portrayed by Adam Scott. Mark is employed at Lumon Industries, where he undergoes a controversial “severance”procedure. This unusual operation segregates his work memories from his external (“innie”and “outie”) experiences. As viewers follow Mark’s journey, they witness his discovery that the promised benefits of severance may not be as beneficial as advertised, paralleling the struggles of his coworkers who each grapple with their own unique challenges stemming from this division of identity. As fans await answers to lingering plotlines, including the mysterious fate of Ms. Casey and the significance of the goats, Season 2 promises to shed light on these intriguing narratives.

John Turturro Confesses He Hasn’t Watched the Series

During a fascinating interview with Comicbook, John Turturro shared his remarkable position of not having seen any episodes of Severance. This means he manages to avoid any inadvertent spoiler-sharing as he navigates the promotional circuit. “I haven’t seen the show, so I’m really an innocent here,” he humorously remarked. In contrast, his fellow cast members, such as Britt Lower (who plays Helly), found it challenging to navigate interview discussions without revealing crucial plot details. She described the experience as “an obstacle course that we’re going through on our press tour.” Meanwhile, Zach Cherry, playing Dylan, humorously deflected tricky questions, saying, “I just play dumb. I don’t even know, I don’t remember. We don’t remember anything we did at work; we were severed,” followed by laughter.

It’s possible that Turturro was alluding specifically to Season 2 regarding his viewing habits. Many actors often express discomfort in watching their performances, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Turturro aligns with that sentiment. Outside of his role as Irving in Severance, Turturro has depicted Carmine Falcone in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and has featured in projects like The Room Next Door, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and lent his voice to Dottore in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.

On a positive note for fans, news regarding Severance Season 3 has surfaced. Ben Stiller, the series director, revealed that they are moving forward with plans for the next season, asserting that production will continue as long as the series maintains its success. Currently, they are “starting up our Season 3 work.” Season 1 of Severance is available for streaming on Apple TV+, with Season 2 set to launch on January 17, 2025.
