It\u2019s a betrayal of Logan\u2019s warring adult children \u2014 Roman (Kieran Culkin), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Kendall (Jeremy Strong) \u2014 so profound that it finally unites them against him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Too late, though. Even when they thought they had the upper hand because their parents\u2019 divorce agreement had codified that Logan needed their sign-off to sell the company, they learned in the season\u2019s final confrontation that he had once again outsmarted them. By appealing to his ex-wife\u2019s basest instincts and greed \u2014 which is how he became a titan in the first place \u2014 Logan found a way to buy whatever allegiance their mother (Harriet Walter) felt for her children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"adm-inline-article-ad-1\" class=\"admz\">\n<div class=\"adma boomerang\" data-device=\"Desktop\" data-width=\"300\">\n<div class=\"pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text\">\n<div id=\"gpt-variety-article-mid-article-uid0\" class=\"adw-300 adh-250\" data-is-adhesion-ad=\"\" data-google-query-id=\"CNXe59Xq4fQCFcOSdwodAF4HPw\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And Logan knew they were coming. Shiv\u2019s husband Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) warned him, in another one of the episode\u2019s backstabbings. Tom, who\u2019d\u00a0compared himself to the murderous emperor Nero\u00a0earlier in the season, sold Shiv out in order to climb up the Waystar Royco ladder. Shiv\u2019s vague promise for him that he\u2019d be \u201chigh\u201d in the reformulated Roy kids organization wasn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But more than that, Tom had finally realized \u2014 perhaps because she\u2019d said it to his face under the guise of dirty talk! \u2014 that Shiv doesn\u2019t love him. There have always been two sides of Tom: There\u2019s the toadying beta man, who sucks up to Shiv, hoping that someday she will love him back. And then there\u2019s the domineering bully who torments Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun), whom Tom enlists in his \u201cdeal with the Devil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, the bully is ascendant. \u201cWhat am I going to do with a soul anyway?\u201d Greg says to Tom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As if that weren\u2019t enough for a finale, Kendall\u00a0<span data-contrast=\"auto\">finally confesses to Shiv and Roman that he had been responsible for the death of a caterer at Shiv\u2019s wedding at the end of Season 1. Kendall is utterly broken \u2014 disconnected, hollowed out, possibly suicidal \u2014 which he tells them over and over. But since Roman and Shiv are also messes, and as they learn as Kendall pours his heart out that Logan is selling Waystar \u2014 the prize they\u2019re fighting over \u2014 they sidestep Kendall\u2019s crime, and enlist him in their (for now, doomed) fight against Logan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The confluence of those two events possibly even heals Kendall \u2014 at least for now. \u201cCan I be with you guys?\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0Kendall poignantly asks as they head off to their battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the morning after the finale,\u00a0Jesse Armstrong, the \u201cSuccession\u201d creator and executive producer, discussed the episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>When you went into the\u00a0writers\u2019\u00a0room for the season, did you know from the start that Logan would sell\u00a0Waystar\u00a0Royco, and\u00a0that\u00a0Kendall would confess what he\u2019d done?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s hard for me to reconstruct the snowstorm of the process. Usually what happens is I go in with some pitches of what I think the shape of the season is like and some episode ideas. I do the first three or four weeks very loose, as we break the shape of the season. By the time we\u2019d done three or four weeks, we started breaking the individual episodes \u2014 that stuff is locked down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"adm-inline-article-ad-2\" class=\"admz\">\n<div class=\"adma boomerang\" data-device=\"Desktop\" data-width=\"300\">\n<div class=\"pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text\">\n<div id=\"gpt-dsk-tab-mid-article2-uid1\" class=\"adw-300 adh-250\" data-is-adhesion-ad=\"\" data-google-query-id=\"CJHPt9fq4fQCFQbvdwodEwcEaQ\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We try and follow stuff that happens in the real world of media. And so selling felt like a thing that\u2019s happened to some legacy media companies. Confessing has always been \u2014 well, that could happen. There are these plot shapes, which in a ghostly way start to solidify as you talk and talk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Did you mirror some of the things that happened when Rupert Murdoch sold Fox to Disney, and the \u201cSuccession\u201d-like scenario that had been playing out among his children?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That one was present in our minds. Older ones \u2014 AOL Time Warner. And Warner, more recently, with\u00a0AT&amp;T: That was close to home, and far from home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And obviously, Murdoch and Disney was in our minds. We try and absorb all the business stories we can and have that thing of not\u00a0<em>copying<\/em>\u00a0reality, but it makes me much more comfortable if I feel like our fictional media company is facing the same dilemmas that real legacy media companies are.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  aligncenter wp-image-1235132352 size-full\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kieran-culkin-jeremy-strong-sarah-snook-brian-cox-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kieran-culkin-jeremy-strong-sarah-snook-brian-cox-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kieran-culkin-jeremy-strong-sarah-snook-brian-cox-1.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kieran-culkin-jeremy-strong-sarah-snook-brian-cox-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w\" alt=\"Lazy loaded image\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-font-family-secondary lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-text-align-left\">\n<div class=\"c-figcaption__inner lrv-u-padding-t-025 lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-grey-light lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-b-050\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop lrv-u-margin-t-050\">Roys v.

And it was tight time-wise, and we haven\u2019t done as much work on them as we have on other stuff because they\u2019re at the end, and also it\u2019s nice to leave things a bit loose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I knew that scene was going to happen. I knew what was going to happen with Tom and Shiv at the end. But honestly \u2014 I found it hard. I\u2019m kind of a workman-like writer. I don\u2019t have writer\u2019s block. I get down to it. I go for it, and then I refine and work on things. But I was very pleased with the finale of last season. And I don\u2019t normally feel this kind of thing, but I felt a certain anxiety about whether this episode would be as good. In plain speaking!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I knew that we had good shape. But then there\u2019s also the part which is execution, and I knew I had to execute that. And I don\u2019t normally get wobbly, but I found I was scared of that. I rewrote it a bit; I rewrote it in the UK, and I rewrote it when we were in Florence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s a difficult thing to get someone to say the one thing they don\u2019t want to say. And I felt like we\u2019d put building blocks in place that made it feel psychologically real. But making the actual trigger be something that Jeremy was then going to be able to achieve in the moment, and to get his siblings to respond in a way that was actually just\u00a0<em>true\u00a0<\/em>was a challenge. It was tough. But it was exciting, because you know you\u2019re writing for those brilliant people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Did you have any idea what a meltdown viewers were going to have at the end of Episode 8, when it was suggested that Kendall might drown?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">No, not really. I didn\u2019t. And I keep a little bit of a distance between me and the response, just because it\u2019s gratifying that people got into the show a bit more. But you can have a bit of a complicated reaction to all that stuff, because it\u2019s just a lot. So I don\u2019t know all of what you speak. But I got a sense that it was like, \u201cWhoa!\u201d And I guess I felt like an ominous ending where that possibility was we were being pretty explicit. His kids left him in the pool. He was there floating alone drunk. The beautiful shots that Mark found, and the stuff that Jeremy did, maybe encouraged people to think even more about the bad, bad, bad, bad things that were possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>There was a lot of speculation after the episode that Kendall was going to die. Was that ever a consideration?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When we go into the room, nothing\u2019s off the table. I think having seen the last episode, you will see there\u2019s a logic to where he is. His siblings come over to him, and he\u2019s primed if the right mixture of guilt and tenderness is shown to him for that stuff to come out. It was part of that story, rather than a story that was ever going to go in a different direction for me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  aligncenter wp-image-1235132356 size-full\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/matthew-macfadyen-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/matthew-macfadyen-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/matthew-macfadyen-1.jpg?resize=150,98 150w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/matthew-macfadyen-1.jpg?resize=300,196 300w\" alt=\"Lazy loaded image\" width=\"1000\" height=\"653\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-font-family-secondary lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-text-align-left\">\n<div class=\"c-figcaption__inner lrv-u-padding-t-025 lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-grey-light lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-b-050\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop lrv-u-margin-t-050\">Tom (Matthew Macfadyen)<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-color-grey u-font-family-basic\">Graeme Hunter<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>When did you know that Tom would betray Shiv \u2014 and what was the last straw for him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I certainly remember pitching it to HBO when we were like, \u201cI think this is what the season is.\u201d So it was pretty early. And in terms of when he decided, I don\u2019t want to put a name on it. I\u2019ve got my pitch of when it was. But Matthew\u2019s might be different, and his, I would say, is equally as important as mine. And you sometimes don\u2019t know \u2014 things are building up for years, and then that thing happens, and it cracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Can you talk about blowing up the Roman\/Gerri dynamic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s always loomed over that thing \u2014 this dynamic which Gerri and Roman have developed \u2014 that it\u2019s dangerous. It\u2019s dangerous to both of them. It\u2019s probably more dangerous, as she\u2019s well aware, to Gerri, because of societal stuff about sexism and being a woman inside that company. And also because of familial stuff \u2014 she\u2019s both more vulnerable and less vulnerable because of that. I didn\u2019t ever see them, like, getting married and going to live in Tahiti. I always felt like Gerri has been really smart, and she\u2019s fucking tried to keep this stuff in a box. But Roman doesn\u2019t keep stuff in a box. So it was always fissile material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"adm-inline-article-ad-x-29\" class=\"admz\">\n<div class=\"adma boomerang\" data-device=\"Desktop\" data-width=\"300\">\n<div class=\"pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text\">\n<div id=\"gpt-variety-article-mid-articleX-uid2\" class=\"adw-300 adh-250\" data-is-adhesion-ad=\"\" data-google-query-id=\"CJLPt9fq4fQCFQbvdwodEwcEaQ\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>And can you talk about Roman finally standing up to Logan, which was very difficult for him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Just as you say, it\u2019s very difficult for him. We\u2019ve seen that right across a few seasons now that Roman, maybe more than anyone else, is in thrall to his father\u2019s power and feels his displeasure. They all feel it quite viscerally, but he feels it almost more viscerally than anyone else. If you have to overcome that, some pretty important building blocks and emotional defenses have to be built. And I hope you feel that the building blocks were in place. He needed a lot of support, and maybe he was finally getting it to be able to stand up to that intense emotional glare.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>For my last question, Jesse, you said to me\u00a0<\/strong><strong>before the season<\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u201cthere\u2019s a promise in the \u2018Succession\u2019 title, and it can\u2019t go on forever.\u201d Now that the company has been blown up, how does that change the very idea behind the show?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It changes it.
