The Severance cast has debunked one of the most popular fan theories about Lumon

In the three years between seasons of Severance, some fans have obsessively analyzed the series for clues about what might be going on on the show. Some of the most popular theories focus on the Lumon Corporation that all of the show’s main characters work for. In a recent video produced for Entertainment Weekly, the show’s cast dove into some of the most popular theories, and in the process, they debunked one that has become incredibly common online. That theory suggests that the severance technology, which uses a chip to sever a person’s work memories from the rest of their memories, is actually related to cloning technology. “This sounds like what Lumon would be doing in a super boring version of Severance,” star Adam Scott said. Patricia Arquette also added, “You are very far off and wrong.” That double debunking would seem to put the theory to bed, even though it would explain a lot of the strange things happening inside the company. Of course, it’s possible that Arquette and Scott are lying to throw fans off the scent, but we won’t know until the show actually reveals some of what is going on. Scott added that, in the second season, the show would spend more time with the outie versions of the characters working in MDR. “Now that we saw the MDR crew’s Outies walking into season 2, we suddenly have twice as many characters, which is an incredible opportunity because we have these unbelievable actors,” he said. “So now we get to see these other parts of their lives.” The show’s second season will debut on Apple TV+ on January 17. What’s happened? The first trailer for Sony Pictures’ upcoming film, Anaconda, has been released, teasing a wacky and bloody new horror comedy. Instead of a straightforward reboot, the trailer for 2025’s Anaconda follows best friends Doug and Griff, who, in a midlife crisis, try to remake the original Anaconda film in the Amazon rainforest. What’s happened: Director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) posted from the set for his upcoming sci-fi blockbuster, Star Wars: Starfighter. On Levy’s Instagram, the photo depicts actors Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray standing on what seems to be a platform somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. What’s happened: After the success of F1 in theaters this summer, Apple CEO Tim Cook told Variety at the Emmys that a sequel might be in the works at Apple Studios. “It’s definitely something that’s being talked about,” Cook said via Variety. “It’s been such a huge summer blockbuster for us. We’re so proud of it. The talent involved are such next level, and Brad did such a wonderful job acting in it. We’re super proud of it, and we can’t wait to bring it to the surface.”
