Jeremy Strong describes the mental toll of starring on 'Succession,' saying that playing Kendall Roy really messed him up. He doesn't miss that chapter of his life.

Although the Emmy-winning HBO series was “an incalculable gift” for the actor, he says that his immersive method on the show “fucked me up.”

“It fucked me up,” Strong, who played Kendall Roy in the satirical drama series for four seasons, told The Sunday Times. The dark comedy series, which follows a dysfunctional, super-rich American media family, wrapped up in May 2023 after four seasons.

Sucession' star Jeremy Strong does not want a Kendall Roy spinoff, saying his character's struggles took a lot out of him during the series.

The actor would imagine terrible things happening to him to get into character, and says ‘Kendall’s struggle was difficult to carry’.

In an interview with The Times of London, Strong shared that he struggled for the four seasons that HBO's "Succession" was on the air, saying that during his tenure as Kendall on the dark comedy about an American media family, he imagined terrible things happening to himself to prepare for the mentally anguished character.

Jeremy Strong's latest film is the perfect continuation of his career, especially after Succession's ending in 2023, just over a year ago.
