Sarah Snook had no idea that the fourth season of the hit HBO programme Succession would be its last until the last table read.
In February, it was reported that Jesse Armstrong’s award-winning series will conclude with the following installment, which is scheduled for publication on March 26.
Prior to the final series broadcast, Shiv Roy actress Snook said that she learned the news a bit too late and expressed her regret at not being notified sooner.
‘I was very upset,’ Snook said upon learning that Succession would not be filming a fifth chapter.
‘I felt a huge sense of loss, disappointment, sadness. It would’ve 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.’
Speaking to Los Angeles Times, Snook added: ‘Emotionally, all of us weren’t necessarily ready to be done with the show because we love each other so much.
‘But everything has to come to an end, and it’s smart not to let something become a parody of itself.’
Succession creator Armstrong said that the finale of the HBO drama, which also stars Brian Cox, Matthew Macfadyen, and Kieran Culkin, has always been “present” in his thoughts.
He also said that he had been actively considering when to finish the show since the second series.
‘You know, there’s a promise in the title of Succession,’ he said.
‘I’ve never thought this could go on forever The end has always been kind of present in my mind.
‘From season two, I’ve been trying to think: Is it the next one, or the one after that, or is it the one after that?’
Armstrong told The New Yorker that when they began filming season four, he was “not 100 percent certain” that Succession would finish.
He added: ‘I knew that this was probably it, or this was it, but hadn’t had to face up to it in the world.’
Succession returns to HBO Max in the US on March 26 and will land on and NOW in the UK on 27 March.
