How ‘Severance’ Star Dichen Lachman and Director Jessica Lee Gagné Brought Gemma’s Episode to Life in Season 2


"Severance" star Dichen Lachman and director Jessica Lee Gagné discuss bringing Gemma to life for Season 2.

To shape Gemma’s journey, Lachman worked closely with Jessica Lee Gagné, the show’s cinematographer, who made her directorial debut with this episode. Jessica, I don’t know if you remember the one in the bathroom with the needle that was initially a little bit heavier, and then it ended up during that rehearsal process, being a lighter scene where you saw the characters’ lightness and they’re obviously going through a difficult time, but they find a moment of levity. Sarah [Edwards] went to great efforts, and the wigs with Jon [Carter] and Judy [Chin] with the makeup, everyone contributed so much to those innie rooms, which, obviously, helped inform me, but I’m curious, Jess, how many conversations went around some of the costumes and the hair?
