What the hell is going on with Severance? Stars John Turturro, Britt Lower, and Zach Cherry dont know either

They’re ready for a waffle party. “Severance” returns for Season 2 on Apple TV+ on Friday, Jan.17 – and series stars John Turturro, Britt Lower, and Zach Cherry know the answers to some of the show’s mysteries.“We certainly know some things,” Cherry, 37, exclusively told The Post. “And sometimes I’ll watch the show and go, ‘I didn’t even know that that was what we were doing!’” The Emmy-winning series  is a sci-fi thriller about employees at a mysterious biotech company called Lumon. Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Britt Lower), Dylan (Zach Cherry) and Irving (John Turturro) are all “severed,” which means they have chips in their brains separating their “work” selves (called “innies”) from their regular personas outside of the office (called “outies”).
