“I would love to finish the show before I’m 70,” he said.
“I would hope that season 3 comes sooner.
Nobody knew what it was.

And I hope that we don’t have to do that again.”
What willSeveranceseason 3 be about?
The season 2 finale, meanwhile, left several plot threads dangling.

Doing so, after all, could very well wipe him from existence.
But it also keeps Outie Mark away from Gemma, who’s now free on the outside.
Why does Innie Mark stay?

For Innie Helly (Britt Lower), duh.
“I mean, for Innie Mark, it’s a no-brainer, right?
“Scott told EW following the finale.

Of course, it’s not that simple.
“Obviously, it’s heartbreaking.
And for Outie Mark too, they finally wereright there,and it got pulled out from under them.

“I think that the question on Mark and Hellys mind is going to be just ‘Now what?’
And so its the question of, what would you do to preserve your own existence?
This conflict will likely be a driving force in season 3.

I think theres an argument to be made on either side for Innie Mark or Outie Mark.”
Erickson spoke about this dynamic withio9.
Is this whole system hurting me and hurting other people?'

That could change in season 3.
A severed uprising?
In an interview withGQ, Erickson hinted that this scene could point towards a larger story of worker solidarity.

“It became even more important to me as the show went along, that we really honored that.
He continued, “The severed floor itself is severed because the different departments are discouraged from interacting.
Why were Mark and Gemma chosen for Cold Harbor?

Mark and Gemma’s involvement in the Cold Harbor project doesn’t seem random.
Lachman, who plays Gemma, has an idea.
“Theyve definitely been watching [Mark and Gemma] for a long time,“she toldVariety.

That’s just her guess, though.
In interviews, Erickson has remained tight-lipped about this topic.
What, exactly, are the other refiners refining?

In other words, each file that Mark completed for Lumon created a new consciousness for Gemma.
So, if that’s what Mark has been up to, what have his colleagues been doing?
And what about the three colleagues Mark was paired with at the beginning of season 2?

“I cant get into it too much.
And I think thats still a question.”
Who will be in theSeveranceseason 3 cast?
It’s less clear if we’ll seeJohn Turturro’s Irving andChristopher Walken’s Burt again.
It was also heartbreaking, as the pair shared a tender romance on the severed floor.
For his part, Turturro hopes to return for season 3.
And I dont think it is.
If someone wanted the story to be complete?
But I think theres so much more here.”
“I would absolutely love to return in the future,“Christie told EW following the finale.
