Succession's creator reveals why the yacht scene is his favorite and talks James Murdoch's resignation from News Corp
showrunner Jesse Armstrong was gearing up to shoot the third season of his Emmy-nominated HBO drama when the COVID-19 outbreak pushed filming back indefinitely. Unable to be in production in New York, he's spent much of the shutdown in the U.K. fine-tuning the season three scripts instead — that way he'll be ready to go as soon as they can figure out how to safely film the show, which is up for 18 Emmy nominations, this fall.
The tentative plan is, ideally, in the late fall around Christmas to start shooting, but it's nothing we can totally commit to because we just have to respond to the situation with the pandemic. But we're trying to make plans, and I'm trying to focus my own mind and that of my fellow writers on a realistic timetable. Ultimately, nobody knows, so we've got to try and remain flexible.
I mean, we don't have our own World Health Organization, so it's the same information as everyone else has. And yeah, there's a lot of speculation and some days it feels better and other days it feels worse. It's just totally beyond our control. We have to try and in some Buddhist way to learn to live with the uncertainty.
If you would excuse me, I won't get into the stuff of the next season, just so it's fresh for when people get it and enjoy it, hopefully. But I'm being flexible if there are things creatively that I and the writing team can do to make it more filmable. We won't make any compromises which mean the show is worse, but we are willing to think about how we can do this thing safely on a doable timeline. We're trying to help the physical production from the writing room.
