Brian Cox Hasn’t Watched The ‘Succession’ Finale Because “Dead People Don’t Watch Things Like That”
Jun 5, 2023
The IDGAF era of Brian Cox’s career has been an entertaining thing to keep an eye on. It seems with every new interview, the iconic actor just says something that riles people up and makes headlines. The best part about it is that Cox just really doesn’t seem to care about saying things that ignite social media. And if you’re hoping that the actor has some deep thoughts regarding the end of “Succession,” you’ll be sorely mistaken. You see, Cox hasn’t even bothered watching the final episode of the series. Why not? Well, his character isn’t in the episode, so he doesn’t seem to care very much.

Speaking on the BBC, Brian Cox was asked about his thoughts on the final episode of “Succession.” This isn’t a crazy question considering the actor led the ensemble cast for 3+ seasons of the series. Of course, *Spoiler alert* his character, Logan Roy, dies at the beginning of Season 4, which is the final season. And according to the actor, once Logan was out of the picture, he just didn’t care to finish the series.
“I’m dead. Dead people don’t watch things like that,” Cox said. “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.”

Even though he hasn’t watched the “Succession” finale—and seemingly has no plans on ever watching it—Cox still had some words to say about the final episode.
“The rich are becoming so out of it. So separated. That’s what our show is dealing with,” he said. “And, rightly, they got their just desserts at the end. Apparently! I wasn’t in the finale.”
Again, this is not meant to be an insult to Cox, as no actor should be forced to know everything about each and every project they do. He’s an actor and has won awards for his work as Logan Roy. But, at the end of the day, when he’s not asked to be in an episode, we shouldn’t expect him to feel some sort of duty to finish the series.
That said, the best part about this is that Cox just doesn’t seem to care what people expect from him, and he has no interest lying about seeing the show to appease fans. He wasn’t in the finale, therefore he didn’t watch it. It’s as simple as that.
You can watch all of the episodes of “Succession” on Max now.
