I don’t know why.

“), andBritt Lower, who plays Helly Riggs.
COLLIDER: Which of your friends and family have been the worst at asking for spoilers?
ADAM SCOTT: My daughter asks all the time.

Just tell me everything.
So, that’s by far the worst.
BRITT LOWER: I feel like the general response from people is, Whats happening in Season 2?

And then they immediately say, Dont tell me anything!
I think people want to be in a state of mystery.
TRAMELL TILLMAN: For me, I think it would be along the lines of what Britt said.

Its like, Don’t tell me anything.
I don’t want to see anything but tell me what you know.
I’m in the same boat.
I want to know and don’t tell me a thing.
Did you have an idea of where ultimately this is going to go?
We actually have a plan for where it’s going to go.

We wanted to be flexible.
People really love this.
Am I thinking three or four years?
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.
How did that game plan shift as a result of the success of the first season?
Do you think this is ultimately a four-season show or three-season show or five-season show?
Do you have that idea in mind, or are you guys still figuring that out?
ERICKSON: We’re honestly still figuring it out.
SCOTT: For me, Episode 4 was the most challenging.
TILLMAN: I could see that.
Do you want to tease which sequence?
SCOTT: For me, at least, it was kind of the whole thing.
It was a lot.
LOWER: Just the elements the lighting is different.
What are we doing with this?
LOWER: I think anytime you bring up the script, it feels like Christmas morning.
The dialogue in the show is just so delightful and strange.
SCOTT: Also, Santa Claus hand-delivers every script to all of us.
ERICKSON: Ive been trying to get them to call me Father Christmas.
They wont do it.
One of the things that I think resonates with so many people is it opens a lot of conversation.
Because this, for me, leads to a lot of conversation.
TILLMAN: Most people are terrified to approach me.
I don’t know why.
I feel like the fans are all cool and subtle like that.
Have you guys gone down to the convention floor and done your booth?
Do you know there’s a booth?
SCOTT: Yeah, we did.
TILLMAN: Yes, we walked in.
So it wasn’t open yet when you did it?
We did it this morning.
Everything changed but it’s all the same… or is it?
We’re at CCXP, and a lot of people here are collecting.
For all four of you, is there something that you collect or used to collect?
ERICKSON: There was a long time when I saved every movie ticket that Id ever been to.
It was, like, nine years that I had every single movie ticket.
TILLMAN: I was actually going to say the same thing.
Thank you cards, birthday cards.
I usually keep and collect those.
ERICKSON: Yeah, its a bummer.
And concert tickets too.
SCOTT: That’s a great thing.
What do you think fans will say after seeing the Season 2 finale?
Because Season 1 ends, and you’re like, Holy F, I need Season 2 right now.
SCOTT: I hope they’ll say the exact same thing, Holy F, I need Season 3.
TILLMAN: Id agree with that.
LOWER: Yeah, same.
So, theyll be like, Get out of the way!
SCOTT: So its wild peeing, all in unison saying, Holy F, I need Season 3.
One of the big problems with streaming shows is the long breaks between seasons.
You guys obviously had a very long break between Seasons 1 and 2.
I would love it if Season 3 could possibly come out sooner.
ERICKSON: I don’t want to incur the wrath of my looming overlords.
Ben (Stiller) already ruined that he’s working on it.
SeveranceSeason 2 premieres on Apple TV+ on January 17.
