Britt Lower reveals new details about her Apple TV+ character weeks before the release of Severance Season 2

Ceberated for its original concept and provoking deep discussions about work, identity, and memory, Severance is returning on Apple TV+ with Season 2 on January 17, 2025. At the heart of the series is Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott), who works in a fictional biotech company, Lumon Industries.

Scout's company is known for its mysterious corporation and a highly controversial practice. Each employee in the company undergoes a surgical procedure called severance, which splits their consciousness into two completely separate identities: Innie (work self) and Outie (personal self).

While Innie only exists within the workplace, Outie knows nothing about their work life and focuses on their personal life. The company wields immense power over its employees, and the surgical procedure also begins to take a toll on their mental health.

The first season hit Apple TV+ in 2022, and now fans are excited for the next chapter of Severance. Thanks to one of its cast members, Britt Lower, who teased insights about the upcoming season like tons of "Easter eggs" for fans and viewers.

Britt Lower talks about her role and what's in store for Severance Season 2

Among the standout characters in Severance is Britt Lower's Helly R., who fiercely resists the severance process in her company. She's seen as a rebel against Lumon’s oppressive system who refuses to get manipulated and controlled by the company.

During her interview with Vogue on January 6, 2025, Lower shared that every person involved in the show has worked tirelessly to build on the cliffhanger ending of Season 1, and now she's excited as Season 2 is almost here. The actress said:

"There has been a lot of thought and sweat put into building a bridge from that cliffhanger so that it’s sturdy. I’m really excited for people to see it and walk across the bridge with us."

The actress also shed light on her dual roles as Helly R and Helena Eagan and explained that there are two strong-willed parts of the same person who exist in different circumstances. Lower mentioned that she reinforced Helly’s role as a rebellious catalyst, and her determination to question authority will continue in Severance Season 2.

The new season will also dive deeper into Helena Eagan’s world, highlighting the difference between her and Helly. Lower teased that fans will learn about Helena's character through her wardrobe, suggesting that Season 2 will explore her life outside Lumon Industries.

The Holy Slept Over star praised the costume designer and said:

"Sarah Edwards, our costume designer, is a genius. She and Ben Stiller worked so hard to build the wardrobe world of this show."
