Dichen Lachman is known for her role as Gemma Scout in Severance. She recently shared insights into her character's future in the upcoming third season of the Apple TV+ series. Gemma is married to Mark Scout. Though she is a pivotal character in the show, her journey is anything but simple.

Gemma is finally set free at the end of season two. Her narrative is intricately linked. This is in the spooky and mysterious land of Lumon. Gemma was said to have died before Mark started working there. However, she was surreptitiously used as a test subject for Lumon's severance technology.

This heartbreaking loss, and her later role as “Ms. Casey” is the central driver of Mark’s decision. This is done to join Lumon. On the severed floor, Gemma was put through various psychological and emotional tests.

This was done all while maintaining her memories. In addition, she worked as a wellness counselor part-time. At that time, she was unwittingly engaging with her husband Mark. He was unaware of her in this capacity because of his own severance.

Like the audience, Lachman said she had no idea what Gemma's future holds. In an interview with Business Insider, Lachman said

"Up until now, I've been scared to 'like' it in case they might think that that's a confirmation that they're correct or something.

Specifically talking about her character's future on the show, she added,

"The possibilities (for Gemma) are really endless. I'm sure it's something I haven't even possibly considered."

This implies that the authors have not yet disclosed all of the surprises Gemma will experience. This would be in the upcoming season. In a world where reality is continuously questioned, fans are left wondering if Gemma will reconnect with Mark.

Lachman considers the appearance of Ms. Casey, the Gemma innie introducedin season one, again.

"I love Ms. Casey," she said. "She was a very sweet character and I feel so much sadness for her."

Lachman has also starred in Altered Carbon and Jurassic World Dominion. She is known for her range of portraying complex characters. Her portrayal of Gemma, especially as Ms. Casey has captured viewers' attention. It has left them eager for more. As season three looms, it’s expected that Gemma’s journey will continue to be a major focal point in Severance.
