Succession Series Finale: Brian Cox Believes Logan Roy Died Too Soon
With HBO's Succession series finale hitting this weekend, Brian Cox is sharing his thoughts on the timing of Logan Roy's death.
With only days to go until the series finale of HBO & Jesse Armstrong's Succession hits our screens, it would be an understatement to say that fans have put just about every possibility into play about how things are going to end up when the dust settles. Ahead of Sunday night's "With Open Eyes" (directed by Mark Mylod and written by Armstrong), series star Brian Cox is sharing his thoughts on an important, game-changing moment from the season – the death of Logan Roy. During an interview on BBC Two's Amol Rajan Interviews, Cox shares that he now thinks it was "ultimately too early" to kill off the family patriarch – believing the fifth or sixth episode would've been a better call than S04E03 "Connor's Wedding." Cox shared, "I was fine with it ultimately, but I did feel a little bit rejected. You know, I felt a little bit like all the work I've done, and finally, I'm going to, you know, end up as an ear on a carpet of a plane."
Here's a look at the preview for this Sunday's series finale, "With Open Eyes," followed by a look back at the emotional firestorm that was the season's & series' penultimate episode, "Church and State":
