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.

Jude Law is set to play Vladimir Putin in Olivier Assayas’s next movie
There have not been very many onscreen depictions of Vladimir Putin, perhaps in part because he is still Russia’s leader, and so the story of his reign is not yet over. In a recent interview with Deadline, though, Jude Law revealed that he’ll be playing the Russian leader during the first part of his governing career in Olivier Assayas’s new film, The Wizard of the Kremlin.
“I say that hesitatingly because I haven’t really started work on it yet,” Law explained. “I mean, I have, but at the moment, it looks like an Everest to climb, so I’m in the foothills looking up thinking, ‘Oh Christ, what have I said?'”
Law continued by saying that he often feels intimidated by roles early on: “That’s often how I feel whilst I say yes. I was going, ‘Oh God, how am I going to do this?’ But anyway, that’s for me to sort out.”
The news that Law had been cast in the film was first announced in the spring of 2024, but there was no word on who he would play at the time. The film is an adaptation of Giuliano da Empoli’s novel of the same name and follows a young filmmaker who unexpectedly becomes an advisor to Putin as Putin rises through the ranks of the Russian government.

The Flash director says the film failed because people ‘don’t care’ about the DC hero
It’s been nearly two years since The Flash hit theaters in 2023, and the film remains one of the most infamous bombs in recent comic book movie history. Its director, Andy Muschietti, isn’t confused about why the film failed, though. During an interview on Radio Tu’s La Baulera del Coso, Muschietti said that he believes The Flash performed so poorly because it wasn’t as widely appealing as everyone, including himself and its producers at Warner Bros. Pictures, hoped it would be.
“The Flash failed, among all the other reasons, because it wasn’t a movie that appealed to all four quadrants. It failed at that,” Muschietti argued. “When you spend $200 million making a movie, [Warner Bros.] wants you to bring even your grandmother to the theaters.”
