“Succession” creator Armstrong said earlier this year that the end of the series had been on his mind since Season 2, but it became apparent during the making of Season 4.

Actor Jeremy Strong shared that the ending “will feel like a death,” while co-star Nicholas Braun said the cast was “really bummed” by the news of the “succession” officially ending. “I was sad as hell (on the last day),” Braun said.
