We asked the creator of Severance about that season two premiere.Image: Apple TV+
Dan Erickson:Well, its a pretty big part of it.
We talked about Would Helly tell the truth?
or Would she hide it?
Dan Erickson is the creator and showrunner ofSeverance– Apple TV+
So theres definitely a reason why each character would want to maybe be dishonest to the others.
io9: Another big surprise is Miss Huang, who is just the most interesting, weird character.
What can you tell me about her?
Dan Erickson is the creator and showrunner ofSeverance– Apple TV+
Why is Lumon is doing that?
What are the greater implications of it?
But I think her presence really throws off the characters.
So it was a very strange power dynamic that you could only really have on this show.
And so in a way shes Lumon incarnate.
Shes both of those things at once.
io9: Another fascinating twist this season is the outtie family visitation suite.
How crucial is that this season and, again, where did that idea come from?
The moment that he finds out he has a family, a finger trap is just a finger trap.
All of a sudden, it completely reshapes his sense of importance in life.
And so whats Lumon going to do?
Theyre going to incentivize that.
Hes willing to do it even at the expense of his work family.
And thats the predicament that he finds myself in.
The first episode ofSeveranceseason two is now on Apple TV+.
New episodes drop each Friday.
