You’ve got to hear Zach Cherry’s ‘Severance’ Season 2 fan theory

Severance fan theorists, step aside. Severance star Zach Cherry, who plays Dylan G., has a theory of his own.

As The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott dives into Season 2 of Apple TV+’s acclaimed workplace thriller, Stiller and Scott have started a segment where Cherry — whom Stiller and Scott jokingly describe as “a clairvoyant” — shares his theories about what will happen in the show’s next episodes.

Stiller jokingly clarified: “These predictions are what Zach thinks, based on, really, probably only having read his sides and his scenes.”

“He doesn’t like reading other people’s lines,” Scott added.

For his theory about what will happen in Season 2, episode 2, Cherry dove deep into the mystery of Gemma/Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman) and Cold Harbor.

“Next time on Severance,” Cherry began. “Ms. Casey is trapped in the number four. And then when Mark finishes Cold Harbor, she moves up to number five. But she doesn’t want to get to number seven, because obviously seven ate nine, and that’s some scary stuff.”

He’s done it; he’s cracked Severance‘s entire mystery box wide open!

But that’s not all. Cherry also came up with a creative solution for Mr. Milchick’s (Tramell Tillman) biggest problem — namely, that his computer screen still says, “Hello, Ms. Cobel” instead of his own name.

“I think Milchick is going to to change his name to Ms. Cobel, so then he doesn’t have to feel sad about his computer login screen,” Cherry said. “Maybe they’ll send him two paychecks by accident.”

Needless to say, Stiller and Scott are less than impressed by Cherry’s theories, with Stiller even calling out his “seven ate nine” moment as a “second-grader joke.” I don’t know, maybe Cherry really is onto something, and Stiller and Scott are just trying to throw viewers off the scent.

Severance Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+, with a new episode every Friday. You can follow along with The Severance Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Audacy, Spotify, and wherever else you get your podcasts.
