Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Twists and turns, double-dealing and death are just some of the themes at the heart of HBO’s fourth and final season of “Succession.” With that, composer Nicholas Britell has released a 25-piece original soundtrack that accompanied the season, which will drop at midnight after Sunday’s series finale.

Jeremy Strong is renowned for his commitment to Method acting, and Bowen Yang can attest to his dedication to the craft.

William Earl Jeremy Strong’s method acting style has been well–documented, and one story about his time working on “Succession” is an amusing glimpse into just how far he takes the process. On the May 24 episode of the podcast “Las Culturistas,” co-host Bowen Yang, who is also part of the cast of “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens,” told a story about Strong while filming near the “Succession” set, which he said supported “the idea that Jeremy Strong has a sense of play and irony.” “The most recent season of ‘Nora From Queens’ shot at the same studio as this season of ‘Succession,'” he said. “The ‘Nora From Queens’ production office was pretty close to the ‘Succession’ stages and their production office, and as we famously know, Jeremy Strong is a method actor. At one point, Jeremy walks into the ‘Nora From Queens’ production office and says, ‘Excuse me, do you know where the bathroom is?’ and then someone in the office is like, ‘Yeah, it’s just down the hall to the left.’ He goes, ‘Thank you so much’ and he leaves.

Jeremy Strong's commitment to playing Kendall Roy on Succession has led to repeated debates about the merit behind the practice and the toll it can take on an actor's health. Brian Cox has been a frequent critic of the method, claiming it led to Daniel Day-Lewis burning out but many of the very best throughout Hollywood's history have used the technique. The modern method approach to acting is generally credited with being popularised by Marlon Brando who requested to have a bucket of ice water thrown over him during his first Broadway play to make him look like he had actually been thrown in an icy lake.

During the fourth and final season of, Natalie Gold has returned as Rava Roy, Kendall's (Jeremy Strong) estranged wife and mother of his two children, Sophie and Iverson. She first appeared as a series regular in season 1 before going on to guest star in season 3 as well as the latest three episodes for pivotal interactions with her husband as the two continue to disagree over how to parent their kids. In the series' penultimate episode, Rava has one final confrontation with her husband after revealing that she and their children are not attending Logan's (Brian Cox) funeral. She is afraid of demonstrations taking place in New York City the morning after a controversial presidential election saw Jeryd Mencken (Justin Kirk) coming out on top and wants to head upstate instead. This, of course, causes Kendall to erupt, with him threatening to lay down in front of her car to prevent them from leaving.
