The season 2 premiere of Severance has sparked a flurry of fan theories, with viewers eagerly speculating about the identity of young Miss Huang and the nature of Helly’s “outie” status.
Mark, who escaped into the real world in season 1, finds himself back at Lumon after pulling off his grand scheme. However, he soon discovers that things have changed, with a new Deputy Manager, Miss Huang, who appears to be a child. This has led to questions about her identity and whether she is “severed” or not.
As Mark navigates the office, he encounters new coworkers and old friends, including Dylan, Irving, and Helly. Despite being made to watch a corporate propaganda video that rebrands their season 1 rebellion as a positive event, the group soon realizes that something is amiss.
The video’s portrayal of Lumon’s treatment of its employees has sparked debate about the company’s true intentions. Meanwhile, Helly’s behavior has raised suspicions among fans, with some believing she may be hiding her true identity or holding back information.
The identity of Miss Huang remains a mystery, with theories ranging from her being a child clone to being related to Mark and Gemma. The show’s portrayal of the Severance Program and Lumon’s experiments have also left viewers questioning what other unethical technologies the company might be working on.
As fans continue to speculate about the show’s plot, it’s clear that the second season premiere has set the stage for a thrilling and thought-provoking journey into the world of Lumon.
