The director and executive producer sees the season two ending as a departure. “We’re going into another mode here,” he says. “This is a lot darker and more dystopian than we’ve seen.”

The director and executive producer spoke to IndieWire about that finale freeze-frame, what the finale means for Season 3, and Mark's Innie meeting his Outie: "We were definitely worried about it."

The question of Helly or Gemma is one that has haunted both Mark S. and viewers of "Severance" throughout Season 2. Most fans suspected that Mark (Adam Scott) would be forced to choose between the woman his innie loves and his outie's wife eventually.
