Kieran Culkin Explains Why He Still Hasn’t Seen ‘Succession’ Finale: “I Kinda Missed The Moment”

Although the final season of Succession earned him his first Golden Globe, Kieran Culkin has yet to fully enjoy the fruits of his labor.

The actor recently admitted he still hasn’t seen the series finale of the HBO series, which bowed out last year after four seasons while Culkin was abroad, shooting his latest film A Real Pain with Jesse Eisenberg in Poland.

“I’ve heard!” he said of the episode’s rave reviews on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “I mean, I was there. I read it, I was there for it, I know what happens — at least I think. That wasn’t really on purpose — at least, not at first. I guess it sort of is now.”

Culkin explained, “I was in Poland shooting this movie when the last three episodes were airing, and I couldn’t log into my Max account. So my wife actually went on Instagram and said hey, if there’s anyone who can give your sign-in so Kieran can watch the last couple episodes?

“And people did! Everyone just gave over their email and password and stuff. I was able to watch the eighth and ninth episode, but then before the last one I moved to a different hotel that didn’t have a smart TV, so I just couldn’t watch it then.”

He added that “then I went home, did a vacation, blah blah blah. You know when it’s like a couple months old? I kinda missed the moment. Does that not make sense? Maybe it doesn’t make sense.”

Culkin won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his performance as Roman Roy on the Jesse Armstrong-created series.
