“You're a clumsy interloper and no one trusts you. The only guy pulling for you is dead, and now, you're just married to the ex-boss' daughter, and she doesn't even like you. And you are fair and squarely f***ed.”

Now this is an English department I would’ve never skipped their classes to get high

GOAT*

........ NEED TO AT LEAST HEAR THE SOFT PITCH

I wonder if this was after the final script had been written/read, or earlier in the season

This was earlier when he told Kieren it most likely is the final season.

Full excerpt for context:

DANES: ... So when you started your fourth and final season of “Succession,” were you aware that it was the final?

CULKIN: Not really.

DANES: What does that mean?

CULKIN: It means Jesse Armstrong, our showrunner-writer, didn’t know. He told me before the season started that he thinks this is the end, but he doesn’t know. I’d actually stopped asking what was coming later. And that was the thing: I liked it. I liked not knowing! And then this year, he mentioned that it might be the end before we started shooting, so I started asking him questions. He told me what happens with Logan, and I asked him to break down everything. And he explained the entire season to me. And then when he got to the end, I said, “Well, that seems like that’s the end of the show.” And he goes, “Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? Although …” And then he just started talking about all these different ideas off the top of his head.

DANES: He’s a really good writer.

CULKIN: He is. And he was like, “This is just off the top of my head.” And then he just pitched an amazing fifth season and then another and another.

DANES: And then denied them to you.

CULKIN: Then denied. He kept us guessing the whole time. There were some of us that were so sure that there was not going to be another season. Sarah Snook, the entire time, until the very end was like, “There’s going to be a fifth season.” And had very clear ideas on what it was. And it was after the table read for the final episode, he told us.

DANES: Did he tell you why?

CULKIN: He felt like the story was complete, and creatively that was it? He’s like, “I feel like it’s complete.” I feel like he’s satisfied as a writer.

Ok so Succession is over, fine... but... WAMBSGANS: A Succession Story (2026) ?

I'm going through withdrawal from this show

Don’t tell me this…

Just make movies

Imagine a reunion special where they’re interviewing each character documentary style asking about the downfall of ATN

This would be fire ngl

Nigga better find a hobby and fix his broken ass family
