Tramell Tillman on what’s changed in Severance Season 2
Tramell Tillman detailed the changes the viewers could expect in Season 2 of Severance. Tillman’s character serves as a supervisor on the “severed” floor at Lumon Industries, the biotechnology corporation where a considerable portion of the narrative in the first season takes place.
“I think we’ve locked in more in Season 2,” Tillman told The Direct. “Season 1 was a fabulous introduction to this world of Lumon, and we got to see the town of Kier. But now this go round, we’re focusing so much more on the four friends.”
The actor elaborated that the focus in Season 2 would be on the innies, the information they have garnered, and what their actions would be after having learned about the outside.
Severance takes place in a world where corporations can have their employees separate their consciousness with an implant. The innies are the aspect of the employees’ consciousness that stay inside the office, while outies are that of the life beyond. The plot predominantly revolves around Adam Scott’s Mark Scout, whose lives as an innie and an outie become increasingly complex and start to overlap.
In the interview mentioned above, Tillman teased what was in store for his character in the sophomore season. He stated that his character had been in damage control mode since his first counter with Dylan George (Zach Cherry), a severed worker at Lumon, teasing that this would continue in Season 2.
Tillman also commented on the impact the show’s success has had on the creative process and how it made them think about “what’s next.” In addition, he expressed his admiration for series creator Dan Erickson and director/executive producer Ben Stiller.
