Severance star Michael Chernus on Season 3, fan…
Want to know all about “Severance” Season 3? Well, don’t ask Michael Chernus, who performs the goofy blowhard Rickon.
“I know it’s happening, but I don’t know anything. And that’s not me being like, ‘oh, I have an NDA!’” Chernus, 48, solely told The Post. “I don’t know.”

Before he reunites with Adam Scott onscreen, Chernus presently stars in Peacock’s “Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy,”(out Oct. 16), in which he performs the titular serial killer.
In “Severance,” his function as Rickon is far lighter. He’s Mark’s (Scott) pompous brother-in-law, a self-help writer who wrote a guide called, “The You You Are.”
The Emmy-winning Apple thriller has been renewed for a Season 3, but hasn’t announced a premiere date yet. Season 1 aired in 2022 while Season 2 aired three years later, in 2025.
“Severance” is govt produced by Ben Stiller and stars Scott, Patricia Arquette, Tramell Tillman, Britt Lower, and John Turturro.
The story follows staff at Lumon Industries, a mysterious and sinister biotech company.

Mark is among the workers of the “severed floor.” Helly (Lower, who gained an Emmy for the function) is a member of the Eagan household, who are descendants of the company’s unique CEO. Lumon has an odd cult-like devotion to him.
Rickon doesn’t seem to be concerned with Lumon. However, there are some fan theories that Rickon may be a secret member of the Eagan household. After all, Season 2 revealed that current CEO Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry) has fathered some secret kids.
“I love all of the fan theories. I’m obsessed with them,” Chernus told The Post. “We all read them.”
“So, fans out there, if you’re wondering, we’re all on Reddit,” he added. “We’re watching!”

Chernus said that he thinks all the fan theories are “incredible.”
“It’s a testament to how good the show is that people’s imaginations continue after the season is over, and that they want to invest and talk to other fans,” he continued.
“It’s just a sign of a good piece of art and entertainment – that it stays with people.”
