- Resignation star Tramell Tillman has teased what’s in store for Seth Milchick in Season 2
- This season’s premiere revealed that Milchick had been installed as Severed Floor’s new boss
- Tramell says his character “doesn’t know if he’s ready” to fill predecessor Harmony Cobel’s shoes
Resignation Actor Tramell Tillman has teased what we can expect to see as part of Seth Milchick’s Season 2 arc.
Talks to me about a month before Resignation season 2’s debut on January 17, Tillman hinted that the Apple show’s next chapter will be a big deal for his character.
Major spoilers immediately follow Resignation season 1’s finale and this season’s premiere. Come back now if you haven’t caught up.
In the first episode of the hit Apple TV Plus series’ second outing, it was revealed that Milchick had been promoted by Lumon Industries in the supposed 5-month gap between the end of Season 1 and this season’s opener. In fact, after Harmony Cobel was ousted as Severed Floor manager last season, Milchick has been installed as her replacement, now overseeing the division in which Mark and other members of the Macrodata Refinement (MDR) team work. You can remind yourself of what else happened in this season’s first round via our Resignation season 2 episode 1 summary.
But I digress. Last season, the charming but menacing Milchick had Cobel to hide behind if something went wrong on his watch. Now that he is The Severed Floor’s new boss, however, the buck stops with him – and, according to Tillman, this will present several challenges to his authority and skills. Oh, and probably significantly increasing his stress levels.
This new leadership position is a stranger to him

“He has one lot of work to do,” Tillman thought. “You know, he’s been pushed into this position very quickly. At the end of season 1, there is no Severed Floor manager, so I’m the only one left [that Lumon can turn to]. Seth has been tapped to step in, so as great a mentor as Harmony has been to him, Seth has to take the reins and we’ll see how he handles it.
“The stakes are incredibly high. This new leadership position is foreign to him and I think there’s a part of him that doesn’t know if he’s ready. So we’ll see if he steps up.”
