Alia Shawkat, known for her recent work in "Atropia," confirmed during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival that she will not return for another appearance in "Severance" season two. Shawkat briefly appeared in the premiere episode as Gwendolyn Y., an employee at Lumon Industries, who joins Mark's team. Despite being a fan of the show, she clarified that her role is limited, jokingly suggesting there might be undisclosed footage of her character. The series, which explores themes of memory and identity, features several prominent guest stars this season.
"I'm only in the first episode," she confirmed. "Unless they shot something without me knowing," she joked.
Shawkat was one of several big names to appear in the second season of the breakout Apple TV+ hit.
Severance follows employees of the fictional Lumon Industries who have agreed to be 'severed.' The procedure keeps the employee's work memories separate from their non-work memories.
In the season premiere, Shawkat plays Gwendolyn Y., an innie who joins the Macrodata Refinement team (MDR) that Mark S. runs.
