Prepare for Connor Roy: Endgame
Alan Ruck on the Roy empire’s final days, as Succession’s fourth and final season arrives
On their way to the White House? Willa (Justine Lupe) and Connor (Alan Ruck).
ON THE MORNING of Empire’s interview with Succession star Alan Ruck, who plays Connor, the much-put-upon eldest offspring of ruthless tycoon Logan Roy (Brian Cox), news breaks that the new, fourth season will be the last. “The truth is, we’ve all known on the show since June,” Ruck tells us. “And I think it’s the right time to end it in terms of the struggle to see who’s going to take command of this empire. A fifth season would have been drawn out, and if it just faded away, that would have been a disgrace.”
