While fans are clamoring for more Severance, one of the show’s actors isn’t quite caught up on the series just yet. Christopher Walken revealed in an interview on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live (via Entertainment Weekly) that he owns no streaming devices and doesn’t subscribe to any services. In fact, the only way he watches anything from a streamer is when they send him the DVDs.
When asked by Cohen if he had seen all the episodes of the hit Apple TV+ series yet, the actor said, “Not all of them… I can’t. I don’t have the equipment, so they’re good enough to send me DVDs.” Cohen followed up by asking Walken if he had an Apple subscription, to which he replied, “I don’t have anything.”
Physical media lovers will no doubt delight in Walken’s old-school approach to viewing movies and television, whether it was Walken’s intention to champion physical discs or not.

‘Severance’ Season 2 Review: More Kooky Fun with Even Less Answers
We get more mysteries and less answers in Season 2 of ‘Severance,’ but it’s still a very fun, thoughtful show about the meaning of work.
Walken plays Burt Goodman on the show, whose innie is in love with Irving (John Turturro), at least within the confines of Lumon Industries. Season 1 ended with Irving’s innie taking control of his outie’s consciousness and seeking out Burt, who retired from Lumon, only to find that Burt is in a relationship with another man on the outside.
Of all the burning questions left in the wake of the finale, what will become of “BIRVING” is one of the biggest. In an interview with Extra’s Billy Bush, Walken was asked about the future of the couple outside Lumon. “You never know,” he said. “Maybe we’ll get back together.”
‘Severance’ Creator Promises a Darker Season Two
For fans of Severance, the three-year gap between seasons has been a long and daunting wait. The series debuted in 2022, and filming of the second season halted amid the WGA strike of 2023. Further production delays kept filming at a standstill until January 2024, delaying the release of Season 2 by another year.
According to the show’s creator and showrunner, Dan Erickson, the series’ second season offers more mysteries to chew on, with a far darker tone than the freshmen installment. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Erickson stated:
“We very much wanted to put our heroes in a scarier place because season one ends with them poking the bear. They form this little rebellion, and they’re able to achieve a modicum of success with it, but the question with season two was: What happens when the bear pokes back? What’s the fallout of this victory that they had? I think, without giving much away, the fallout is dire.”
Severance Season 2 premiered on January 17, 2025, and is available to stream now on Apple TV+.
