With Severance delivering one cliffhanger after another, star Adam Scott has found himself under relentless pressure to spill spoilers—not just from fans but from his own friends and family.
During his appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on March 16, the 51-year-old actor revealed that his close friends, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, are particularly relentless when it comes to getting insider details about the show. What followed was a hilarious exchange of voice messages, proving just how invested they are in the mystery.
Dax Shepard & Kristen Bell’s Spoiler Demands
Clarkson surprised Scott by playing voicemails left by Shepard and Bell, where they jokingly expressed their frustration over the show’s suspenseful twists.
“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 when you guys come to,” Shepard could be heard yelling, while Bell chimed in with a frustrated, “You losers!”
But Shepard didn’t stop there. He decided to turn the tables on Scott by leaving him hanging with his own cliffhanger:
“Quick update you’d probably find funny. My wife just ran through a plate glass window off the second story of our home and was rushed to the hospital. You probably want to know if she’s still alive. I will tell you next week!”
The final voicemail took an even more direct approach, urging Scott to get back to filming.
“If you’re listening to this message and you’re not on set, f— you.”
Adam Scott’s Perfect Comeback
Scott, however, wasn’t about to let his friends win. In a hilarious response, he sent a voice memo of his own, ensuring he had the last laugh.

“Dax, just in response to your unbelievably ridiculous and insulting audio message—not only am I not filming right now, I’m sitting in a jacuzzi, relaxing. So, so far—so far away from even being close to filming. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, again, eat s—.”
With Severance season 2’s finale set to drop this Friday, it’s clear that even Scott’s closest friends are struggling to wait for answers. And if Shepard and Bell’s reactions are anything to go by, fans should brace themselves for another game-changing cliffhanger.
