COLLIDER: Tramell, I wanted to start with you because this season, Milchick gets promoted.
How is he adjusting to this nudge up the food chain?
How does his new role come with new complications, as well?

TRAMELL TILLMAN: He has to adjust quick.
PATRICIA ARQUETTE: I think she’s having an interior cyclone happening.
She’s incredibly angry at their lack of loyalty.
And she’s pissed at him.
So it’s a very complicated experience for her.
Tramell, I wanted to ask you about working with Sarah [Bock] as Miss Huang this season.

She kind of keeps Milchick on his toes a little bit.
What do you enjoy about getting to bounce off of her in their scenes together?
TILLMAN: Sarah is lovely to work with.
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.
She’s so bright and has an incredible future ahead of her.
She’s just brilliant.
I thinkMilchicks relationship to Miss Huang is not as friendly.
Is this what were doing?
And she’s not quiet about it.
Miss Huang is needling her way into my business, challenging my techniques, and it’s enough.
You just got here.
And Milchick doesnt want to hear that.
Is she a glorified intern?
ARQUETTE: She gets this feeling inside that it’s a trap, that it’s not real.
There’s something punitive going on.
It’s not going to work out like this for her the way she wants.
It all really culminates in the speech that he gives himself in the mirror.
What is he really trying to tell himself there?
Because we also understand that there is a task at hand when it comes to Mark.
There’s this duty that he has to fulfill.
So he really is pulling himself up and pushing himself to tighten the leash and move forward.
There is no feeling.
This is the way you do things, and that’s what we need.
It doesn’t matter if it’s complicated or not.
That’s so much easier said than done when you’re the one who’s supposed to deliver this.
New episodes ofSeveranceSeason 2 premiere Fridays on Apple TV+.
