If you’ve been glued to Severance’s mind-bending second season (me), wondering what on earth is happening at Lumon Industries (also, me)—you’re not alone. But don’t worry, some answers might be on the way.
Quinta Brunson is stepping into the Lumon universe—well, sort of. She’s set to moderate an exclusive Q&A for the Apple TV+ thriller, giving Severance fans and industry insiders a rare chance to dig into the show’s latest twists and turns. The event, which includes an all-guild screening, is happening at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) in Los Angeles on March 22.
Now, while Brunson isn’t part of the Severance universe, she does have a connection to its leading man, Adam Scott. The two shared the screen in Party Down’s 2023 revival, and now she’s stepping in to lead what’s sure to be a fascinating conversation.
Who’s on the Panel?
The Q&A lineup is stacked. Expect insight from executive producer and director Ben Stiller, series creator Dan Erickson, and a roster of the show’s standout stars, including:
- Adam Scott (Mark)
- Britt Lower (Helly)
- Tramell Tillman (Mr. Milchick)
- Zach Cherry (Dylan)
- Jen Tullock (Devon)
- Michael Chernus (Ricken)
- Dichen Lachman (Ms. Casey)
- Patricia Arquette (Harmony Cobel)
- Sarah Bock, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Gwendoline Christie
With this much talent in the room, expect some deep dives into Severance’s psychological twists, corporate horror, and that eerie work-life “balance.”
As fans prep for the Q&A, they won’t have to wait long for the season 2 finale, which drops on friday, march 21. This season has continued unraveling the eerie mystery at Lumon Industries, where employees undergo the “severance” procedure—splitting their work and personal memories into separate existences.
The new season also brought in fresh faces, with John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Merritt Wever, Alia Shawkat, and more joining the already stellar cast.
After a three-year wait between seasons, Severance came back swinging. According to Apple TV+, season 2 became the most-watched series in the platform’s history between january 17 – february 17. It even cracked Nielsen’s Top 5, racking up 589 million minutes viewed the week of january 13, with a hefty chunk of that being dedicated to the season 2 premiere.
With Severance riding high, this Q&A is shaping up to be the event for those obsessed with Lumon’s mysteries. Stay tuned for updates—because, just like Mark Scout, we all need some answers.
