Christopher Walken probably won’t be streaming Severance any time soon.
While promoting season two of the Apple TV+ series, Walken and his castmates appeared on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. Cohen asked Walken: “Chris, after you appeared in the show, did you watch all the episodes?”
And the actor, who plays optics and design head Burt Goodman, had a surprising response. “Not all of them,” he said before admitting, “I can’t. I don’t have the equipment.”
He continued: “So, they’re good enough to send me DVDs.”
Walken’s response prompted Cohen to dig deeper and ask him if he was subscribed to Severance‘s Apple TV+ streaming platform. Walken said: “I don’t have anything.”
Cohen replied: “I love you for that!”
The first episode of Severance season two dropped on Friday, close to three years after the first season finale, which ended on a cliffhanger. However, the show’s creator, Dan Erickson, told The Hollywood Reporter that he began working on its second season “before [season one] came out.”
Erickson also spoke about whether some of fans’ burning questions will get answered this time: “To me, it’s always about stacking the mysteries on top of each other. Think of a pyramid where with each season, you’re answering some things but that opens the door to a larger mystery that was underneath. I’m very conscious of not wanting to string people along or make them feel like there are no answers to be had, because that’s not fun. But at the same time, you can over-explain something and take the wonder out of it. I think that the key to that is that every answer opens a new door, and there are new wonders to explore.”
New episodes of Severance will be released weekly on Apple TV+.
