Sarah Snook's real-life pregnancy changed the course of a pivotal Succession finale scene
that her real-life pregnancy played an integral part in the show’s finale—even further than the arc it inspired for her character.
For those who have yet to watch the finale , Kendall and Roman end up wrestling on the floor of a Waystar boardroom after Shiv’s refusal to vote Kendall for CEO inspires her brother to do the same. In the original script, however, this fight was supposed to be between Kendall and Shiv—potentially escalating with the latter “pulling a phone out and throwing it at Kendall”, according to Snook.
In the cut that eventually made it into the episode, Shiv moves to exit the argument and Kendall grabs her, a reaction that felt “far more honest and realistic,” according to Snook.“Up until that point we’d rehearsed—but the instinct from Kieran as Kieran as much as it was from Roman is like, ‘Get your fucking hands off her. She’s pregnant!’ And then leaps on him,” she continued.
This was far from the only time Snook says the actors real lives bled into their characters by the end. In a cut scene from the siblings’ time in Barbados, the actor recalled swimming with Culkin but it feeling “sort of like Sarah and Kieran just as much as it was Roman and Shiv” chatting about pregnancy: “‘What’s it like having big bazoombas? Do you feel like you’re going to fall over?’ And Shiv was like, ‘No. Not high on the list of concerns.’”“It was such a beautiful scene to shoot, because we’re swimming in the Caribbean ocean and talking about being pregnant with one of my dear friends,” she concluded.
