‘Succession’ Used a Hilarious Codeword to Keep Its Big Spoiler Secret
This post contains spoilers for Succession and should also be read while listening to the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song.
Succession writers knew they were on to something big when they decided to kill off Logan Roy in “Connor’s Wedding”—the third installment in the beloved HBO drama’s fourth season. And so, they chose to protect their big secret spoiler with a codeword.
Georgia Pritchett, a longtime Succession writer, tweeted out a still of Brian Cox as Logan Roy on Tuesday and included a brief explanation. “This was a tough secret to keep!” Pritchet wrote. “We decided it in the #Succession writers' room in Jan 22. So nobody found out we used code on the whiteboards.”
