Dan Erickson calls fan theory about Severance character 'ridiculous' ahead of season two premiere

Dan Erickson, creator of the Apple TV Plus show "Severance," has dismissed a fan theory suggesting he based a character, Rick, on himself, calling it "ridiculous." This comes as anticipation builds for the show's second season, debuting on January 17. Erickson noted that while fans have developed many theories since the first season ended three years ago, not all questions will be answered in the upcoming season. He emphasized the importance of leaving some mysteries open for audience interpretation. As the release of season 2 approaches, Erickson shared that he and the team are still figuring out which questions to address. He acknowledged the balance between revealing details and allowing viewers to speculate.
