With the return ofSeverancefast approaching, lead star Adam Scott debunks a popular theory about Lumon Industries.Severanceseason 2will premiere on Apple TV+ on January 17. After a hiatus that stretched on for nearly three years, the buzz from critics has been strongly positive. The consensus suggests that the upcoming episodes either maintain the quality of the first installment or serve as a notable improvement. But despite their enthusiasm, critics caution that answers may not be forthcoming.
In a video forEntertainment Weekly, Scott is at least willing to discard one major fan theory. The cast ofSeverancewas responding to online speculation about the thriller’s various mysteries and generally remaining coy. But when it came tothe possibility that Lumon Industries was cloning people, the Mark Scout actor was fairly direct. His co-star, Patricia Arquette, who plays Harmony Cobel, was even more straightforward in debunking the possibility. Read the responses, and check out the video, below:
Scott:“This sounds like what Lumon would be doing in a super boring version of Severance.”
Arquette: “You are very far off and wrong.”

The cast ofSeverance, including Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, and John Turturro, are not going to be spilling any major spoilers. But the fact that Scott and Arquette were so willing to dismiss the cloning theory and the purpose of the goats suggests that creator Dan Erickson, director Ben Stiller, and the rest of the team arenot going for the most obvious sci-fi tropes.
