# **Apple TV+ Greenlights *Severance* for Season 3: Six Urgent Questions That Require Answers**
Apple TV+ has officially announced the renewal of *Severance* for Season 3, mere hours after the mind-blowing Season 2 finale left viewers in shock. Although the renewal was anticipated—considering *Severance* is among Apple’s most highly praised and popular offerings—the confirmation remains thrilling news. Nevertheless, following a season finale filled with astonishing truths and intricate twists, audiences are left with an array of questions.
As we await the next installment of Dan Erickson’s masterful sci-fi thriller, here are six pressing questions that *Severance* Season 3 must address. **(Caution: Major spoilers ahead!)**

## **1. What is Gemma’s Fate Now?**
Mark’s frantic effort to rescue Gemma (also known as Ms. Casey) from Lumon’s grasp was successful—at least for the moment. She’s assumedly safe beyond the company’s reach, but what lies ahead?
– Is she aware of everything regarding her time as Ms. Casey?
– How will she handle the fact that she hosts two dozen innies within her?
– Given that Lumon appeared ready to eliminate her, how will she stay out of their grasp?
One of the most troubling factors of Lumon’s influence is that although Gemma could report to the authorities, Mark’s innie *chose* to go back to Lumon at the end of the finale. This raises an unsettling question: If an innie consciously decides to remain, does that diminish the moral implications of severance?

## **2. What Will Happen with Helly and Mark?**
Season 2 indicated a developing bond between Mark and Helly, even as both grappled with their individual existential crises. Now that Gemma is alive and out in the open, how will that influence Mark’s affections for Helly?
– Will their relationship grow stronger, or will Mark’s allegiance to Gemma complicate matters?
– How will Helly come to terms with her identity as an Eagan heir who detests Lumon?
Ms. Cobel ominously cautioned Mark’s innie that there would be no happy conclusion for him and Helly, but he disregarded her. Helly herself cautioned him: *“I’m her.”* Given the tumult of the finale, the future of Mark and Helly remains uncertain—or whether they’ll survive long enough to find out.

## **3. Was That Truly Helena in the Season 2 Finale?**
The concluding moments of the Season 2 finale showcased a haunting exchange between Gemma and Helly. As Mark took Helly’s hand and vanished around a corner, Helly gave Gemma a frosty, nearly unrecognizable stare before following him.
Could this signify another instance of an innie and outie switch at a crucial moment?
– Was that genuinely Helly, or had Helena (her outie) taken over?
– If it was Helena, what implications does that have for Helly’s revolt against Lumon?
As Irving notably remarked, *“Helly was never cruel.”* If that glance came from Helena, it might indicate a significant change in her role within the corporation.

## **4. What is Ms. Cobel’s Ultimate Objective?**
Ms. Cobel retains her position as one of *Severance*’s most mysterious characters. While she has shown allegiance to Lumon, she also plays by her own set of guidelines. With the severance experiment veering off track, what does she ultimately seek?
– Is she still acting in Lumon’s best interests, or does she have her own intentions?
– What drives her fascination with Mark and his ties to Gemma?
Cobel’s actions have been erratic, making her one of the most perilous figures in the mix. Whether she will serve as a supporter or an antagonist in Season 3 remains to be seen.

## **5. Is This the End for Irving?**
Irving boarded a train and seemingly vanished into the unknown in the penultimate episode of Season 2. Considering his fragmented memories and emotional struggles, does he still play a pivotal role in the battle against Lumon?
– Will he reconnect with Burt, or is that narrative thread concluded?
– What is his deeper involvement with the severance program?
Irving’s storyline still feels unresolved, and his potential impact in dismantling Lumon could be vital in Season 3.

## **6. What Did Dr. Mauer Mean by “You’ll Kill Them All”?**
One of the most foreboding moments in the finale occurred when Dr. Mauer cautioned Mark, just as the elevator doors were closing, *“You’ll kill them all!!”*
– Was he alluding to the two dozen innies housed within Gemma?
– If
