SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight’s episode of Succession. So stop right now if you don’t want to know what went down.

J Smith-Cameron has revealed how her sizzling real-life chemistry with Succession co-star Kieran Culkin was spotted by show execs and turned into something on screen more… enthralling. 

Edward Abbey argued, “Power is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best.”Never has the axis of attraction and corruption been drawn more vividly or with more white collar viciousness than in HBO’s “Succession.” Written and produced by show runner Jesse Armstrong, “Succession” follows the Roy family.

Brent Lang Executive Editor “Method acting” long ago lost its meaning. Instead, it’s become a catchall to describe an intense commitment to getting it right on stage or screen. It’s an all-out approach that sees performers pack and shed pounds, feast on live cockroaches or raw bison, extract teeth or eschew showers, and remain in character between takes. Those are just a few examples of the extremes to which Robert De Niro, Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Shia LaBeouf, Charlize Theron, Daniel Day-Lewis and their ilk push themselves in the service of their art. For their suffering, they receive Oscars and Emmys, along with a ton of media coverage — just look at the scores of pieces documenting the gonzo things Jared Leto has done each time one of his movies get released.

Brian Cox joked he's too busy to cry over the end of Succession like some of his co-stars.

Succession officially comes to an end after its fourth season.Created by Jesse Armstrong (Peep Show), the satirical comedy-drama about the power struggle within the Roy family has been a critical success since its inception in 2018 – picking up 13 Primetime Emmy Awards across its lifespan so far.The show’s cast includes Brian Cox as the family patriarch Logan Roy, alongside Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun and Alan Ruck.Armstrong confirmed Succession’s fourth season would be its last in February 2023 ahead of the show’s return.Speaking in an interview with The New Yorker, Armstrong explained that the show’s natural conclusion came to fruition in the fourth season.“You know, there’s a promise in the title of Succession,” Armstrong said. “I’ve never thought this could go on forever.

In the second episode of the final season, the Roy family members continue to wage war as Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) decide whether or not to partner with Sandi Furness (Hope Davis) and Stewy Hosseini (Arian Moayed) as they try to stay ahead of their father. Logan (Brian Cox), meanwhile, takes a more active role in managing ATN. Determined to bring life back to the aging network, he decides to audition his executive assistant, Kerry Castellabate (Zoe Winters), for an on-air anchor role, much to the chagrin of Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) and Cyd Peach (Jeannie Berlin).Unfortunately for Kerry, who is a formidable assistant, her audition lands with laughs around the newsroom.

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from Season 4, Episode 2 of “Succession,” now streaming on HBO Max. Kerry Castellabate is the most ambitious assistant on “Succession.” She’s been hovering over Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) shoulder since Season 2, and now she’s making a play at being an ATN news anchor as a major presidential election looms. Unfortunately, Kerry’s inexperience makes her as more of a laughingstock among the Roy family than a serious power player. As played by actor Zoë Winters, Kerry has some breakout moments in Sunday night’s episode of “Succession.” On the news front at Waystar Royco, Logan rallies the ATN troops during a surprise visit, after Kerry has filmed test footage of herself as a newscaster. Her tryout is rough, to say the least. She stumbles over her words, and can’t seem to figure out what to do with her arms, as Greg (Nicholas Braun) later points out. In a hush-hush meeting, Logan slips the idea to Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) that he needs to let Kerry down gently — and Tom them appoints Greg to awkwardly deliver the bad news to her.
