Succession Continues to Dominate Pop Culture

Succession may have aired its fourth and final season a year ago, but it's still dominating pop culture as the show continues to win awards from the Golden Globes to the Critic's Choice Award.

The series is an intense family drama that follows the Roy family as the three main siblings Kendall, Roman, and Shiv fight over control over their father Logan's company as the patriarch pulls their puppet strings behind the scenes.

The original series closed its final chapter, but there have been rumors that a spin-off series may be in the works, but one of the show's main stars has come out to voice his opposition to the idea as a whole.

Kieran Culkin's Opinion on the Spin-Off Rumors

While walking the Golden Globes red carpet, Succession star Kieran Culkin, who plays middle Roy brother Roman, expressed his opinion on a potential series spin-off with Variety, calling the rumor a 'horrible idea.'

Kieran Culkin told Variety a 'Succession' spinoff would be a 'horrible idea' when asked about it on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday afternoon.

When asked to explain his reason why a Succession spin-off wouldn't work, Culkin responded, 'Remember Frasier? Yeah, we all loved Frasier, but not every show can be Frasier.' Famously, Frasier was a spinoff of the hit comedy series Cheers and ran for 11 seasons.

However, Culkin did have one idea for a spin-off that he thought could work, but it would have to be centered on the Roy's seemingly bumbling Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun).

'[Roman could make occasional appearances] for like entrance applause? Would that work in a show like this? That's why I would do it.'

Being relegated to a side character once again would be a huge step down for Culkin as he has explained that Roman 'absolutely' became a main character in Succession after Season 4 Episode 3 which saw Logan Roy pass away, leaving his kids to take center stage in the narrative.

The Potential Spin-Off and the Future of Succession

The comments from Kieran Culkin shed light on the potential spin-off of Succession and the future of the show. While Culkin expressed his opposition to the idea of a spin-off, his suggestion for a spin-off centered on Cousin Greg sparked interest and raised questions about the direction the show could take in the future.
