After an agonizing three-year wait, fans of Severance are just days away from the highly anticipated release of season two. During this extended hiatus, viewers of Apple TV+ have concocted a myriad of imaginative theories about the enigmatic plotlines introduced in the first season. Yet, one particularly prevalent speculation regarding cloning has been definitively dismissed by the series’ cast.

For those who haven’t yet experienced this compelling psychological thriller infused with science fiction elements, Severance follows Mark Scout—portrayed by Adam Scott—who, after the loss of his wife, undergoes a radical procedure at Lumon Industries. This operation partitions his consciousness and memory, supposedly allowing him to manage life’s brutal realities more effectively. Mark is not alone in this experience; many of his colleagues at Lumon undergo the same transformation. However, as the narrative unfolds, the group uncovers unsettling truths about the company and its true motives. With its rich tapestry of secrets and mind-boggling puzzles, the upcoming season promises to delve deeper into the most bizarre aspects of this world.

Debunking the Cloning Theory

Viewer engagement with Severance is often fueled by the series’ intricate plotlines that invite speculation and discussion. This aspect is a cornerstone of the show’s appeal, crafted by creators Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson. A recent interview with the cast on YouTube by Entertainment Weekly highlighted the multitude of fan theories circulating, including the particularly popular idea that Lumon Industries might be cloning individuals, a notion posited as a way to explain the robotic demeanor of the character Ms. Casey.

Adam Scott was quick to dismiss this theory, humorously suggesting, “This sounds like what Lumon would be doing in a super boring version of Severance.”Patricia Arquette, known for her roles in classic films such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and True Romance, also expressed her disapproval of this speculation. “You are very far off and wrong,” stated Arquette, who plays Harmony Cobel.

Alongside Scott and Arquette, other cast members, including Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, and John Turturro, were cautious not to spoil the upcoming season. While the cloning theory has been debunked, fans are still left to ponder the significance of the series’ recurring goat imagery. One viewer humorously hypothesized that these goats could represent the board members, a notion Cherry playfully acknowledged: “I’m not going to debunk this. It’s possible the goats could be the board.” However, Turturro firmly rebutted, “I’m debunking it.”

The second season of Severance is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on January 17, 2025, promising to unravel more intriguing layers of this psychological thriller.
