Britt Lower also had some extra help in the form of timing when preparing for her role as Helly on “Severance.” She said that show creator Dan Erickson was able to finish all of the scripts long before shooting due to filming delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. They had a whole eight months to sit with the scripts for all the episodes, an absolute rarity for television and streaming shows. Lower was able to memorize all her dialogue for all nine episodes of the series, leaving her plenty of time to prepare to play Helly doing other things like the aforementioned drawing and studying Patti Smith footage.
Knowing both Innie and Outie versions of her character, Lower cryptically said, “There are aspects of Helly’s world on the outside that we as an audience have not been privy to yet, for a very good reason. Even by the end of the season, I think it’s just the beginning of a much longer answer to who she is.” These things may be explored in the show’s next season, which AppleTV+ has renewed.
