'Severance' star Dichen Lachman reveals initial reaction to Season 2 finale

Dichen Lachman, who plays Gemma or Miss Casey, in Severance, was enthusiastically waiting for the final showdown in Season 2 finale.

The 43-year-old actress shared that while reading the episode, she was thinking of how fans would receive the action-packed finale.

"I think I read [episode] 10 just before we started filming [episode] 10 and 7. I just remember being like, 'Oh wow, this is going to be interesting to see the reaction,'" she said.

The 100 star added, "Obviously, the fans have spent so much time with Helly R. and Mark S., and so they're invested in that. But after [episode] 7, they're also hopefully invested in Mark's outie's relationship more as well."

"It's a really difficult situation," she said, referring to Mark’s innie going with Helly instead of his wife, Gemma.

"Are they going to work out a timeshare?" she quipped about the love triangle formed between Helly, Mark and Gemma.

Speaking about her experience in the second season, which explores more of her character, Lachman shared, "It was so wonderful because so much of Gemma for so long had just been little fragments. To really live in that space and lean into that emotional anchor for Mark, outie Mark, it was really exciting."

She went on to say, "It was daunting because I really didn't want to let anybody down. I knew the fans were super invested in the show. I haven't seen people this invested in something for such a long time. The attention they pay to every single detail, like zooming into shots and finding little clues, it's wild."
