Star Adam Scott knew that Severance season 2 would get weirder, but had faith that the showrunners would steer it in the "right direction"
Exclusive: Adam♛ Scott talks the Twilight Zone-esque nature of Severance and the weirdness o༺f season 2

Severance star Adam Scott says he knew the series would inevitably get weirder, but he had faith in creator Dan Erickso🏅n and executive producer Ben Stiller.
"I loved Twilight Zone so much. I fell in love with the Twilight Zone when I was like 12. It was on every night, 11, and I just watched all of it. So I was jus🉐t into the Twilight Zone and so when I first read the script five or so years ago, it drew those comparisons in my mind," Scott explains to GamesRadar+.
Severance was created by Erickson, who submitted the pilot to Stiller's Red Hour production company back in 2015. The series stars Scott as a widower named Mark Scout who, after getting fired from his teaching job, undergoes a controversial procedure that essentially separates your work life fro𒊎m your home life into two separate people.
It seems relatively normal at first, until a new coworker named Helly R. (Britt Lower) comes along and questions the policies and protocols - which are anything but normal or ethical. The season quickly unravels into a dystopian nightmare full of nosebleeds, dance parties, and baby goats - and ends on one of 𝓀the most devastating cliffhangers.
"But it was also something completely different from that. I🦩t was an entire world that was skewed and just a bit, sort of a few degrees off from our own. But at the same time, maybe not if a technology like this was introduced into the world, maybe this is exactly how things would evolve and exactly how things would seem, but the depth of Dan's imagination, I never had any doubt about that."
No spoilers, but the new season definitely takes a deep, deep dive into Erickson's imagination...and the stakes are higher🍨 than ever for Mar🙈k, Helly, Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Irving (John Turturro).
Continued Scott: "Whenever we ꦆgo in a new direction or he introduces a big new weird idea, it's always exciting. And no, I never would've imagined it wouldꦕ go to this particular place because I just always sort of had faith in Dan and Ben and figure that where they decide to take us is gonna be the right direction.
