‘Severance’s Sarah Bock Would Love To Join ‘Shrinking’ And ‘Abbott Elementary’ Next: “I’m Such A Fan”

The popular TV series Severance may have bid farewell to Sarah Bock, who played a significant role in Season 2, in Episode 9 titled “The After Hours.” However, fans hope that this talented 18-year-old actor will grace their screens again soon.

Bock captivated audiences when she joined the cast of the successful Apple TV+ show as Miss Huang, the young and suspicious deputy manager of the Severed Floor. It was later revealed that she was collaborating with Mr. Milchick (portrayed by Tramell Tillman) as part of Lumon’s Wintertide Fellowship. Even though Milchick sent her off to Svalbard in Episode 9, Bock expressed her readiness to return for more intriguing and essential assignments, stating, “Of course [I would return.] I would do anything. I love the team on Severance.”

While awaiting confirmation of Severance Season 3, fans are eagerly hoping for more appearances by Miss Huang. In the meantime, Bock revealed her interest in guest-starring on two other beloved TV shows: Shrinking and Abbott Elementary.

“Oh my gosh. I mean, staying in the Apple TV+ lane, I love Shrinking. I would love to be on that show. I’m such a fan,” Bock told Decider over Zoom when asked if she had a dream show in mind for her second major TV role.

Season 3 of Shrinking is already in production, so Bock might not be able to join the series as one of Paul, (Harrison Ford), Jimmy (Jason Segel), or Gaby’s (Jessica Williams) clients, or Alice’s (Lukita Maxwell) school friends this time around. But the cast did tell Decider that despite co-creator Bill Lawrence’s initially-envisioned three-season arc, they’d be open to a potential Season 4 should the perfect story arise. If the series does continue, there’s still hope for Bock to get her Shrinking on! If not, she has another show in mind…

Abbott Elementary is also really good,” Bock continued. “But I don’t know where I would fit in on that show, because I’m too old to be in elementary school and too young to be a teacher.”

The most obvious role Bock could play at the school given her Severance experience? A fellow! “Exactly. Another fellowship for me,” Bock laughed.

Quinta Brunson’s Emmy-winning comedy already received a Season 5 renewal from ABC in January. And since its first season, the hit mockumentary has found ways to welcome everyone from Gritty and Ayo Edebiri to Bradley Cooper, fan-favorite Philadelphia Eagles players, and more as guest stars. Surely there’s a place for Bock — especially since Brunson is friends with Adam Scott, guest starred on the Starz revival of Party Down in 2023, and is moderating the Severance‘s Season 2 PaleyFest panel later this month. A fan!

Whether Bock jumps right into another TV role after Severance or not, she’ll be busy studying theater and psychology as a freshman at Northwestern University, where co-star and NU alum Britt Lower suggested she attend. “For the most part, everyone here that I knew previously, before the show came out, I didn’t really tell them that I was in Severance, so I kind of got to know them just as me first, which I’m glad I did,” Bock said when asked how life has changed since Severance Season 2 premiered in January 2025. “I’ve been getting recognized a little bit, which has been weird for sure, but it’s always been super great interactions.”

While we’re on the top of dream roles, Decider also spoke with fan-favorite Severance star Sydney Cole Alexander, who plays Lumon PR rep Natalie Kalen. In addition to starring in an action movie, Alexander also longs to join another popular Apple TV+ series and a comedy.

“I am obsessed with Silo and I would love to be on Silo,” Alexander said. “I think it’s an amazing show. And I do love drama, but I’m also into comedy as well. So maybe something like Arrested Development would be fun, to play a really over the top character.”

Fingers crossed that our favorite Severance cast members start popping up on some other beloved shows in the future. And be sure to read Decider’s full interviews with Bock and Alexander for more behind-the-scenes insights.

New episodes of Severance Season 2 premiere Fridays on Apple TV+.
