Christopher Walken Reveals Shocking Truth About Burt and Irving in Severance Season 2!

Be cautious as you navigate the maze-like corridors ahead, since there may be spoilers for the premiere episode of ‘Severance’s second season. If you haven’t watched it yet on Apple TV+, take care to avoid these revelations.

Among the TV series slated for their 2025 debut, none are expected to spark as much intriguing fan speculation as the second season of Severance, and with the long-awaited first episode now aired after a three-year hiatus, it’s clear that the gloves are off at Lumon. The premiere, titled “Hello, Ms. Cobel”, has already rekindled numerous theory-driven neurons, even without Patricia Arquette’s character making an appearance. Another much-loved character, Christopher Walken‘s Burt, was also absent, but recent remarks by the Emmy-nominated actor hint at a major development ahead.

1. As a fan, I can’t help but marvel at my favorite instance yet in the psychological brilliance of “Severance” – Keanu Reeves’ unaccredited cameo in Season 2.

It appears from these comments that a significant event has transpired within the show, and it’s possible that more details about Burt and Irving’s past relationship will emerge. This could suggest that they have known each other for a longer period than suggested by their current colleagues or viewers.

As I sat down for an interview with Collider, I was asked if I knew John Turturro had specifically requested me to play the R&D head in our show that held Irving’s attention so firmly throughout Season 1. Honestly, I hadn’t known that before! Then, I shared some fascinating insights about Burt and Irv’s bond. You see, it was like we were two halves of a coin, somehow connected on a level I can barely put into words.

It seems that Burt and Irving have some connection to Chris and John, given my long-standing relationship with John. We’ve been associates for about 40 or 50 years, both of us young actors in New York seeking work. I’ve known him a substantial amount of time, and he’s an excellent director whom I’ve collaborated with in two or three films. I’m acquainted with his family too. When you observe them together, it becomes clear that they’ve been friends for a long time, sharing laughter, completing each other’s thoughts, and so, it feels natural to me that John and I would be portraying characters who share love.

Without a doubt, what Christopher Walken mentioned earlier isn’t exactly groundbreaking news to those who have been keeping an eye on things. From the get-go, the camaraderie between their characters was evidently warm and amiable, as well as other qualities, and it’s clear that their real-life friendship has been showcased.

In those scenes, Burt and Irving appeared to discuss Lumon-related matters like the latest tote for the handbook, art, and various other subjects. They also showed some physical affection, such as hand-touching and even an embrace in a green setting. These interactions might suggest a more intimate relationship, but considering their work environment, such a bond seems highly improbable.

Based on Christopher Walken’s statement that he and Turturro portray characters who are in love, it seems reasonable to speculate that their relationship may extend beyond the narrative we’ve seen so far, suggesting a deeper backstory. This assumption has fueled numerous fan theories, particularly when considering Outie Irving’s paintings.

Essentially, it seems that Burt and Irving might have worked together in the same department before the show began. Their friendship may have grown too strong for Lumon management’s liking, causing them both to be reassigned to the Training Department, a place where employees are believed to be reprogrammed after being dismissed. It’s thought that they were then moved to separate departments as a means of discouraging such camaraderie.

Love’s strength is undeniable, and it proved true for Irving and Burt. Their emotional bond seems unyielding to Lumon’s technological interference. Instead of repeating past actions and taking unnecessary risks, Lumon opted to retire Burt from the company entirely, effectively halting their professional interactions within the organization.

It seems their relationship hasn’t been entirely cut off, as evidenced by Christopher Walken’s involvement in Season 2 promotions. However, it’s intriguing that Burt was omitted entirely from the “Microdat Uprising” video in stop-motion format.

At this point, it remains uncertain when and where he might reappear next, but I’m optimistically wagering that Outie Irving and Outie Burt will engage in an intriguing conversation before too long. It’s unlikely we’ll discover the goats’ perspective on the matter, though there has been a bit more clarity shed on that enigma recently.

Every Friday, fresh episodes from the second season of “Severance” are available for streaming on Apple TV+. This is accompanied by new installments of the podcast featuring Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.
