Succession creator Jesse Armstrong revealed that he internally wished to extend the show.
Speaking to Variety, the show's creator said, "The word that comes to mind for me is 'natural.' I hope people, when they see this season, will feel that it has a natural shape to it. That's how I pitched it to my writers' room, kind of hoping I'd get argued out of it so we'd see a way to do more seasons because I love working with these people. I think there's a feeling of completeness and rightness to the shape of the show," he added.
The 52-year-old also added the series ending was unchanged.
"I had the last scene pretty early. We talked about how the show would end a lot, and I never wavered from that. I wavered on what were the best lines, the best way to express it — but that ending from the first draft is the one you'll see when the episode comes out."
