Adam Scott’s Real Injury in Severance Season 2 Finale: What Happened?

by

In the final episode of Severance Season 2, things became incredibly intense, and surprisingly, an event from one of the most jaw-dropping scenes left Adam Scott with a genuine concussion off-set.

In the Season 2 finale of the Apple TV+ series, there were several unprecedented events. For instance, we finally received explanations about Lumon’s activities and Gemma’s purpose within them. Moreover, Outie Mark and Innie Mark had their first interaction on screen, and the episode even included an uncommon scene of physical conflict.

Unlike many shows that are renowned for their gory scenes, Severance doesn’t fit that mold. However, the confrontation between Mark, Drummond, and Lorne was incredibly intense, culminating in a shocking moment where Drummond was fatally shot in an elevator without any fanfare.

Initially, a major battle sequence unfolded. If you recall, Mark was visibly affected quite significantly. Consequently, it might not come as a shock that Adam Scott sustained some real-life injuries during this encounter.

Adam Scott hit his head for real in Severance Season 2 Episode 10

As a gamer, I’d like to share an interesting behind-the-scenes fact I picked up from the official Severance podcast: During that intense fight scene, it turns out that instead of just letting Olafur Darri Olafsson hurl me into the wall, Scott was actually supposed to block his head at that moment. Now, that’s a level of dedication I can respect!

The padding would’ve protected his head, making the situation appear safe, all without causing any real harm. However, as Scott portrayed it, events didn’t unfold as expected.

He admitted that it was entirely his responsibility in that particular incident. He referred to a time when Darri grabbed him forcefully against a wall, an action they had discussed and rehearsed multiple times.

One aspect of my task involved shielding myself as he propelled me towards a wall. Specifically, I had to raise one arm to protect my torso, allowing me to slam hard against the wall, yet this position ensured that my head and the remainder of my body were safeguarded from impact.

It seems like I accidentally bumped into something with my back, causing my arm to be stuck, and before I could react, I unintentionally hit it with my head. I’m guessing this is the kind of shot they use in the series, isn’t it?

When Ben Stiller confirmed, “It definitely is,” Scott added, “Totally worth being concussed.”
