Major ‘Succession’ spoilers ahead…you’ve been warned!
Fans of HBO’s hit series “Succession” were devastated Sunday night by the sudden death of one of the show’s biggest characters.
Logan Roy, the conservative media mogul played by Brian Cox, died on a flight in his private jet, leaving fans gasping and leading to an obituary for the character in the Los Angeles Times.
The death itself isn’t too shocking considering the show’s title is about the race to succeed Roy, who is aging and in poor health. But many fans still didn’t see it coming, especially since it’s only the third episode of the final season, with seven to go.
“I thought he was going to die around episode 7 or 8,” Cox told the New York Times. “But episode 3, I thought…”Well, it’s a little early.’”
He told the paper that death changes the stakes.
“The main character is gone. And the kids have to deal with it or not,” she said. “I think it’s going to be tough next week for a lot of viewers because they’re going to miss Logan.”
