The debut of ‘Severance’ Season 2 swiftly re-immersed viewers into the enigmatic realm of the Lumon corporation and its severance policy, which felt surprisingly routine following the dramatic upheavals in the Season 1 finale. Despite Mark S.’s (Adam Scott) orchestration of a full-scale rebellion to break free from the company, he was back at his desk in Macrodata Refinement without so much as a whisper. However, Mark wasn’t shy about voicing his queries towards Lumon’s severed floor supervisor Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman), and Mr. Milchick was prepared with some crucial responses.
As stated by Milchick, it’s been about five months since Mark initiated his rebellion and triggered the “Overtime Contingency” plan, enabling him and his MDR team members Helly (Britt Lower) and Irving (John Turturro) to assume their professional identities in the real world. The opening episode of Season 2, titled “Hello, Ms. Cobel”, was a complex puzzle of concealing major secrets subtly. Many viewers are sharing the idea that time might be one of those hidden secrets.
Severance Season 2 Theory: How Long Has It Been Since The MDR Uprising?
In the premiere of Season 2 of “Severance”, there are numerous indications that Milchick might not be truthful about the current situation. For instance, it appears Milchick is assisting Helena Eagan/Helly in penetrating MDR and analyzing team members to determine how the rebellion began among the severed workers.
Additionally, the episode’s title, “Hello, Ms. Cobel”, hints at the ongoing situation in the manager’s office. Milchick’s supposed promotion seems incomplete since his computer is still associated with Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette).
Perhaps the most revealing clue, however, is that the episode never discloses the present circumstances of the characters outside of work. Whenever Mark leaves for home, it seems he immediately returns to another shift, which suggests that the audience is not privy to the true state of things beyond the workplace.
Investing Mark in an unending work routine and observing him seems reminiscent of the harsh penalties meted out by Lumon and the Eagan family to the mutineers from MDR. The mystery lies in determining how long this ordeal has been ongoing. If it’s merely five months, then one can’t help but wonder what significant events have transpired during that span?
There’s a compelling case to be made on both sides: If executed skillfully, Season 2 of “Severance” could reveal the passage of time as one of its most significant plot twists. The series is centered around individuals who desire to selectively experience specific life moments while omitting others, and Season 1 laid the groundwork for its enigma using the factual truths that transpired between those “cut off” segments. Given the challenges “Severance” faced in producing this second season, turning the three-year delay into a major narrative twist would be a stroke of genius. Discovering that Mark has become a full-time severed employee and has been doing so for years would be a shocking revelation – and an even more profound emotional shift if it’s unveiled that something about life outside led him to flee, and he knowingly chose to live a partial life of servitude.
Instead of waiting three years, it might make sense for Season 2 to start right after the Season 1 finale, as if no time had passed. This approach could help clarify several points from the Season 2 premiere: Helena and Milchick’s quick response against Mark suggests they’ve been on perpetual alert; Irving and Dylan being initially separated, then reunited (with “Helly”) to keep Mark under control; Harmony Corbel’s lingering presence due to her role in exposing the uprising; and the question of why Mark is kept in this situation, which could be about uncovering a hidden issue within the severance process that might make employees turn against their employers. Additionally, it would help answer a pressing question – what insight Helena Eagan needs after investigating so much during her promotion of severance.
Is it plausible that the second season of “Severance” leaps forward in time? Only time will tell, as more episodes become available to watch on Apple TV+.
