“I haven’t seen the last episode yet,” Kieran declared to Malkin, who was shocked by the admission.

“Wait, you haven’t seen the last episode?” Malkin responded while taken aback. “Why not?”

“It was a thing,” Kieran stated. “I had to go work in Poland right as it was going to air, and I couldn’t sign in to my HBO Max account.”

Marc appeared flabbergasted, and he even inquired why Kieran didn’t reach out to HBO to secure an advance screening of the series finale before its May 2023 premiere. In response, the actor explained that he had a lot happening at the time, which made it challenging for him to access his streaming account and arrange for an early viewing.

“I could have, but I was also shooting,” he commented. “Then I went from that to a month-long vacation. At that point, it was three months … I got two young kids. It’s really hard to find time.”

When fans caught wind of star Kieran Culkin’s surprising revelation about not having watched the final episode of Succession, social media platforms buzzed with commentary.
