Sticking the landing. Succession viewers were shocked to see Logan Roy (Brian Cox) killed off three episodes into season 4 — but the HBO show’s cast showed their support for the twist.In an episode which aired on Sunday, April 9, Connor Roy’s (Alan Ruck) wedding to Willa (Justine Lupe) is the last thing on people’s minds when Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) breaks the news to Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin), Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) and Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) that their dad died aboard his private jet.Cox, 76, revealed that he knew about his character’s fate as they were preparing to film season 4. “[Creator Jesse Armstrong] called me, and he said, ‘Logan’s going to die,’” the actor told The New York Times on Sunday. “And I thought, ‘Oh, that’s fine.’ I thought he would die in about episode seven or eight, but episode three, I thought ‘Well that’s a bit early.'”The Scotland native, who brought the role to life since Succession premiered in 2018, praised Armstrong, 52, for his decision to end the show.“The problem with a lot of television, particularly American television, is it goes past its sell-by date,” he detailed to NYT. “And the great thing about Jesse and the writers is they wouldn’t do that.

Always leave the party when it’s at its height, not when it’s going down.”After winning a Golden Globe for his performance as Logan, Cox admitted he was worried he would spoil details about his character’s ending.“It was hard to keep a secret all that time.

It was a long time,” he told Vulture shortly after the episode aired. “When did I die? God, I think it was last July. I’m very proud of myself because I’ve never been able to keep secrets, and this is one secret I actually did rather well on.”In order to view the video,
