Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, both big fans of Severance, had an intense reaction to the show’s Season 2 finale—so much so that Adam Scott, who plays Mark, is deliberately avoiding their feedback for now.
During Severance‘s PaleyFest panel on March 22, Scott revealed that the couple left him a voicemail about the finale, and let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly filled with polite praise. “I have a voicemail from them, and it’s very nasty,” he told PEOPLE. “I can’t even repeat what they said because it’s deeply offensive. I haven’t responded yet, but I will.”
Bell and Shepard got early access to the season via screeners so they could discuss it on their podcast, and while they were clearly fired up about the finale, Scott assured everyone that they did, in fact, love the show. He’s also pretty used to their unfiltered reactions at this point.
Scott shared that the cast had been watching the episodes for a while and enjoyed the season, but he’s always curious to hear what fans—including Bell and Shepard—think. That said, their voicemail was so intense that he had to brace himself before responding.
This isn’t the first time Bell and Shepard have gone all-in with their Severance opinions. On The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson even played one of their dramatic voicemails. Shepard ranted, “All right, you son of a b—-, Bell and I just sat here, on the edge of our seat, waiting to find out what happens… Oh, buddy, are we f—ing pissed that this episode just ended.” In the background, Bell could be heard shouting, “You losers!”
Scott, however, isn’t one to take jabs lying down. He fires back with equally aggressive voicemails. Clarkson played one of his responses, where he sarcastically told Shepard that instead of being on set filming, he was lounging in a jacuzzi, far from all the drama. He capped it off with a simple yet effective message: “Eat s—.”
Clearly, these three have a very passionate way of expressing their love for the show.
