It’s the end of the line.
When Succession creator Jesse Armstrong made the surprise announcement that the upcoming fourth season would be the HBO series’ last, fans weren’t the only ones shocked by the news. That’s because according to star Sarah Snook, the cast didn’t know things were coming to an end when they returned for the new episodes either.
“I was very upset,” she told the Los Angeles Times in an interview out March 19. “I felt a huge sense of loss, disappointment and sadness. It would have been nice to know at the beginning of the season, but I also understand not being told until the end because there was still a potential that maybe this wasn’t going to be the end.”
According to Snook, who plays Shiv Roy, she and her co-stars—including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun and J. Smith-Cameron—weren’t informed that the family business drama was wrapping up until the series finale table read in January. And it wasn’t just the Pieces of a Woman actress that felt the sudden loss.
