Jeremy Strong Says He Wouldn’t Want Another Season of ‘Succession’: ‘That Is Happily Put to Rest’

Jeremy Strong says he wouldn't want another season of 'Succession' or to reprise his character Kendall Roy in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE at the 2024 Tony Awards Meet the Nominees junket. The actor earned a Tony Award nomination for best actor in a play for his role as Dr. Thomas Stockmann in 'An Enemy of the People.'

For his Succession role as power-hungry Kendall — the son of patriarch Logan Roy, who competed with his siblings to take control over the family’s media conglomerate — Strong won an Emmy Award for outstanding actor in a drama series in 2020. “I read a poem by [American poet] Stephen Dunn that said, ‘All I ever wanted was a book so good I’ll be finishing it for the rest of my life,’ ” he said at the time. Strong says this version, written by Amy Herzog and directed by Sam Gold, isn’t a “stuffy period play from the 19th century” because they’ve “repurposed it for a modern audience” starring himself, Michael Imperioli and Victoria Pedretti.
