Succession It is considered, by many, to be one of the best series of recent years. Although the content ended in 2023 after four outstanding seasons, it is true that its end left the door open for a continuation. In this sense, Brian Cox, the actor who gave life to the feared Logan Roy, referred to the possibility of seeing a possible sequel. Of course, not in the television format, but in the cinema.
a movie of Succession? Well, it’s not the first time someone has mentioned it. In fact, it is a rumor that has sounded loud among the wide audience that became a fan of the series. Many consider that the proposed ending is not definitive, especially because the narrative lends itself to continuing to develop the conflict between the Roy brothers. Did Kendall really give up? Will Siobhan live forever in Tom’s shadow? There are many questions that remain open and that could be resolved in a film.
When questioned (via Variety) about the option of participating in a hypothetical film SuccessionBrian Cox responded: “We’ll see. If it’s good enough and Jesse Armstrong wants to do it, I could do it.”
This is the type of statement that actors usually give when they are approached about the possibility of participating in sequels. Therefore, what is really important is that Brian Cox has not denied the possible existence of a film of Succession.
However, The actor also considers that Succession came to an end at the right time. “What I love about this, and what I love about Jesse Armstrong, is that we don’t go past our sell-by date. A lot of American shows go past their sell-by dates. We’ve left people wanting, and you always want people to keep wanting.
It is evident that Cox has also seen how some productions, after succeeding on the small screen, prolong their narrative longer than they should. On some occasions, in fact, they were not even planned to last that long. Nowadays, it is usually success—or failure—that marks the duration of a series, whether we like it or not. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Succession.
Another rumored option is that there is a spin-off focused on another character. Specifically, in the cousin Greg. However, Cox believes that Nick Braun would not be willing to participate in such a project. “I don’t think Nick Braun wants to do it. He’s moving on to other things that are really exciting for him,” he said.
So, only time will tell if HBO will launch a movie or any other type of production linked to Succession. Of course, the expectation caused by this type of information makes it clear that the audience does not frown upon returning to that universe.
