Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers regarding the final season of Succession.
HBO may have moved on to its latest drama, The Idol, but many viewers are still mourning the end of the network’s previous prestige drama, Succession. In its final episode, the show garnered nearly three million viewers, marking its highest viewership in four seasons.
“I’m dead. Dead people don’t watch things like that,” Cox said during a recent interview with BBC.
Cox’s character, Logan Roy, died earlier in season four, so he was not present for much of the final season. Still, he didn’t feel inclined to watch the remaining episodes when they aired because he “knew how it was going to end.”
“And somehow or other, because of what happened to Logan, I’ve been disinclined to watch the rest. … I gather that ultimately, in the end, Logan’s won through — even though he’s in the grave. But it’s a strange situation. … I don’t cling onto things. When I’m over, it’s over, and I go on,” he continued.
Cox may be flippant about his decision to watch the show’s final episodes, but he did issue a grand thank-you note to the viewers, cast and HBO recently. In his words, Succession was his “greatest work experience ever.”
“We have now come to the end. And what has been, in my career, certainly the greatest work experience ever,” he said.
“The harmony between crew and cast was truly amazing. It was on it’s [sic] way to become a great series but the Love and commitment from crew to cast and writers, made it memorable. I would like to thank all of us in the making and creating of this show from the very bottom of my heart.”
