HBO: Succession

[sdkitty]

Final season? But what if it does really well?

I read something where the show runner said he decided it should have a proper ending - not just keep going on and on

I would guess because the actors don't really like working together...

This would be a sad reason to end the show, but realistic. Succession could literally go on for many more years. There are so many corporate stories that could be written into the show, so much material to work with.

Arghh......

A few cast members have said Jeremy Strong is very difficult to work with in interviews..and that spread. I don't know if that had a lot to do with it, but I doubt it helped.

Brian Cox said he finds it annoying that jeremy stays in character...but not sure he was really mad about it

Kieran has also spoken about how annoying it is..I don't imagine they are the only 2

I doubt that's enough of a reason for them to want the show to end though, esp Kieran....Brian Cox is older and has had a bigger career

I have read a few things about how a lot of them don't like working together. Jeremy's method acting is just one of the reasons. You can't renew contracts if folks aren't willing.

This is sad. The show is great. But I've also read/ viewed things about Jeremy's method acting and it does seem very, very extreme. He can impose it on himself, but if he expects others to adopt his methods, then yes, I can see friction.

I don't think he tries to get others to adopt his method

Many shows should end after 3 years. When they keep it going into a 4th, it seems strained. Better to go out on top.

interesting interview with brian cox

Brian Cox Is Glad ‘Succession’ Is Ending, and Doubles Down on Hating Method Acting: ‘I Don’t Put Up With That American S—’

Last month, when “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong announced that the fourth season of the Emmy-winning HBO drama would be its last, the internet howled in despair. But Brian Cox — who’s played the ferocious mogul Logan Roy since the show’s 2018 premiere — applauds Armstrong’s decision. “He’s...

So many of these actors aren't doing that much and when they get on a hugely successful, highly acclaimed show, with probably a nice paycheque, I think they should suck it up. I know I would.
