Succession's Cut S4 Plan Would've Made A More Surprising (But Worse) Ending
Home TV Features Succession's Cut S4 Plan Would've Made A More Surprising (But Worse) Ending Succession ending with season 4 was disappointing news to viewers, but the alternate cut plan for the show would've made Succession's ending worse. The cut plan for Succession season 4 would've made for a more surprising ending, but potentially worse for the show. The HBO satirical comedy-drama focuses on the Roy family, especially siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck), as they fight for control of their father, Logan's (Brian Cox), media company, Waystar Royco.

Home TV Features Succession's Cut S4 Plan Would've Made A More Surprising (But Worse) Ending Succession ending with season 4 was disappointing news to viewers, but the alternate cut plan for the show would've made Succession's ending worse. The cut plan for Succession season 4 would've made for a more surprising ending, but potentially worse for the show. The HBO satirical comedy-drama focuses on the Roy family, especially siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck), as they fight for control of their father, Logan's (Brian Cox), media company, Waystar Royco. In an interview with The New Yorker, Jesse Armstrong confirmed that Succession season 4 would be the show's last. While this news may disappoint audiences, Armstrong's decision is for the best, especially compared to the alternative plan he had for Succession. In the New Yorker interview, Jesse Armstrong discusses Succession ending with season 4 and discusses other scenarios the writers thought up. Armstrong mentions they considered doing "a couple of short seasons, or two more seasons." They also thought about continuing the show "for ages" and turning Succession into a "more rangy, freewheeling, kind of fun show." Ultimately, Armstrong preferred to "do something a bit more muscular and complete" and go out strong. While continuing the show is an intriguing idea, it's best that Succession finishes its run with one final season to cap off its tightly-plotted story and finely-crafted character arcs. Succession S4 Ending The Show Is Better Than It Continuing Indefinitely It's better if Succession season 4 ends the show rather than continuing indefinitely. If Jesse Armstrong had Succession "go on for ages," it's probable that the show would still be engaging and sharply written and acted. However, it wouldn't have the same punch as a smaller and crisper four-season run. There have been great shows with more than four seasons, but Succession feels like a show that works best with just four. Succession season 4 is already shaping up to be an incredibly intriguing watch; the plot of the Roy siblings banding together against Logan is the perfect material for a final season of Succession. Succession having a definite endpoint benefits the show. It allows Armstrong and the writers to set up a proper ending for the series and the characters of Succession . A problem some shows have once they reach a certain point is how to continue the story, often spinning their wheels instead of finding organic ways to advance the plot and evolve the characters. Deciding to end Succession with season 4 allows the writers to bring the Roy family saga to a natural conclusion. It lets Succession be a more complete series, which is better than the "freewheeling" idea previously discussed between Armstrong and the other show writers. Succession Could've Used Its Cut Plan (But It Would've Hurt The Show) Jesse Armstrong could've implemented the cut plan for Succession, but it could be detrimental to the show in the long run. The writers extending the show's run past Succession season 4 risks the story becoming drawn out. The HBO show has a great team of writers, but there is a chance that they could eventually run out of ideas and end up inventing contrived plots for the characters. So it's better for there to be a clear endpoint, so the writers can plan their storylines accordingly and conclude the show while it still feels fresh. Another issue with Succession's cut plan is that the show could've been canceled or faced with other circumstances that meant it wasn't able to create a satisfying ending. While the HBO Max show has enjoyed acclaim and has a good bit of popularity, there could still be a chance that the network could h...
