Severance Star Was Enraged After Reading Season 1 Finale Cliffhanger
When first reading the script for the Severance season 1 finale, star Tramell Tillman was furious at the cliffhanger ending. He's not the only one, as fans of the show (including Stephen King) were gripped by the shocking conclusion to Apple TV's dystopian sci-fi series. Tillman plays Seth Milchick on the show, a methodical manager on Lumon's Severed floor who oversees his employees with a smile that barely hides his imposing nature.
The finale saw Milchick in a race to stop Innie Dylan as he helped his fellow ragtag group of employees in Macrodata Refinement commandeer Lumon's overtime contingency plan, barely able to hold onto the two switches to keep the process going. This led to a series of revelations for the group's Innies. John Turturro's Irving finds out that his office lover Burt is married, and that Irving keeps detailed tabs on his fellow coworkers, insinuating he might be a mole for Lumon. Britt Lower's Helly learned that she's actually Helena Eagan, related to the company's founder Keir Eagan, and she got Severed as a PR move for the company. Finally, Adam Scott's Mark discovered that his Outie's wife wasn't dead after all, but hidden by Lumon, solely kept as an Innie under the name Ms. Casey.

When the ending came about and he realized that he would have to wait to find out what he happened, he was "absolutely floored." His full quote is below:
«I was absolutely engrossed in it and I was enraged. You
