Some series have left their mark on the history of pop culture. However, the production of a gem is based on a fragile balance that is often unknown to the general public. From casting to script choices, including enmities or moments of grace, the destiny of a creation sometimes reveals real surprises. Here are 4 secrets from filming Succession by Jesse Armstrong available on Max.

The series is inspired by the Murdoch family

This is not a scoop, but as confirmed by our colleagues from elitedaily, the scenario concocted by Jesse Armstrong is partly inspired by the family of billionaire Rupert Murdoch. This media conglomerate calls the shots in the United States thanks to its Fox News channels, and its print newspapers such as the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal which are real institutions. The same goes for the Roys in fiction with the ACN channel which weighs heavily on American political life.

Logan Roy should have died in season 1

In the initial idea of ​​its creator Logan Roy (Brian Cox), the patriarch of the family, was supposed to die in the first season. His children would then have gone to war. Except that Brian Cox was so convincing in this role, that it turned out to be even more interesting to keep him alive, while showing his heirs tearing each other apart. The actor explained to the Guardian: “It has to come down to him”.

Kieran Culkin should have played cousin Greg

In The Hollywood Reporter, Kieran Culkin revealed that he preferred to play Roman Roy because there was something about the spoiled rich kid role that appealed to him. On the contrary, he couldn't relate to Greg when he read the script. He adds about Roman, a very vulgar and loser protagonist: “There was a click between me and this character that I still don't understand, and that I probably don't want to understand, given the kind of guy he is”.

The authors of the series are also big readers

Creation does not fall from the sky and always comes from our past experiences and readings. Screenrant thus teaches us that the writers of the series are avid readers of Dostoyevsky or biographies linked to modern media.
