This article contains spoilers from Severance season 2.

A current fan speculation about the controlling Eagan family in Apple TV+’s Severance proposes a potential cause for their pineapple fixation. The second season has displayed an unnerving scene featuring an animated Mark and Helly playing pineapple bobbing, and the fruit resurfaced again as part of a reward basket Milchick gave to Mark, Dylan, and Irving. It’s clear that this peculiar enigma is causing quite a buzz among viewers, but one engaging theory offers a solid explanation.

Beginning in February 2022, the science-fiction psychological thriller “Severance” made its debut, featuring Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette in prominent roles. As we eagerly await the second season’s premiere on January 17, 2025, showrunner Dan Erickson has hinted that “Severance” season 2 will delve deeper into the Eagan family’s involvement with Lumon Industries. Throughout the series so far, glimpses of the mysterious family and their role in Lumon have been hinted at, along with the secrets behind the procedure that divides employees’ work memories from their personal lives. The show presents several puzzling mysteries, but the Eagans’ peculiar use of pineapples within Lumon has sparked intrigue among fans.

Severance Fan Theory Possibly Explains the Eagans’ Pineapple Obsession

On Reddit’s Severance discussion forum, MattsldeaShop shared an intriguing interpretation suggesting that the Eagans’ obsession with fruit could be significant. This theory points out that pineapples reproduce asexually by cloning themselves rather than relying on seeds for propagation. This biological detail is linked to the theory that the Eagans aim to produce offspring identical to Kier Eagan, maintaining their bloodline like pineapples do. Some viewers argue that Severance isn’t just about solving puzzles, but they appreciate the detective work involved in unraveling this pineapple theory.

One Reddit user reacted to the theory, focusing specifically on the painting featuring four heads buried in the ground from the first episode, which resembles how pineapples are cultivated with their green tops removed. Many members of the community found this a fruit-based theory they could readily support. The pineapple concept sparked intriguing discussions about the Eagans’ ultimate plan. However, a different Severance theory has been discredited by cast members who dismissed the widespread clone hypothesis, causing some controversy within the debate. Furthermore, the presence of goats in the series remains perplexing, reinforcing the numerous enigmatic clues scattered throughout episodes to keep viewers intrigued.

Season 2 of the series is set to conclude by the end of March, featuring a total of ten episodes – one more than the first season’s episode count. Fear not about a potential season 3 delay, as Ben Stiller confirmed its return back in November 2024. The team has been brainstorming ideas for season 3 since then. A three-year gap existed between the final episode of season 1 and the beginning of season 2 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and the complexities encountered during the writing process. Hopefully, fans won’t have a long wait after March’s finale for the continuation of the show in season 3.

Severance season two, episode 3 will be released via Apple TV+ on January 31, 2025.
