While Succession patriarch Brian Cox has called co-star Mark Strong’s method acting “f***ing annoying” and last week complained Logan Roy was killed off “ultimately too early,” it seems those irritants did not define Cox’s experience on the show. Quite the opposite.

HBO executive has shared doubts of whether the Jon Snow spin-off series of Game Of Thrones can “go all the way” to air.Last year, the currently unnamed series was first announced by HBO, with Thrones star Emilia Clarke then seemingly confirming that Kit Harington will reprise his role as Jon Snow for the sequel.Harington then fuelled the rumour mill when discussing the possibility of a sequel in an interview early this year, but HBO’s head of drama Francesca Orsi has now cast doubt over the possibility of it making it to air.“We’re just working deeply with the writers to get it in shape for potential greenlight, but at this point, no, no determination on whether it can go all the way,” Orsi said (via Deadline).Discussing potential plot lines of the show at a Game Of Thrones convention last year, Harington said: “I think if you asked him, he would’ve felt he got off lightly,” adding of his character: “At the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he’s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He’s done.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Most artists, if they’re lucky, invent one thing. But Kenneth Anger, who was a filmmaker, an author, a debauched aristocratic scenester and, to the day of his death at 96 (he reportedly died May 11, though it wasn’t made public until May 24), a figure of puckish mystery, invented several things, each of them epic. In “Fireworks,” his transcendent 14-minute avant-garde film of 1947, Anger invented the very consciousness and imagery of gay liberation — not the desire to be liberated (which was buried in the hearts of gay people everywhere), but the rapturous visual reverie of what that liberation might look like, what it would feel like, why it seemed so forbidden, and why it needed to be. In “Scorpio Rising,” his homoerotic demon-biker/Top-40-orgy blast from the underground, Anger invented MTV, invented what Martin Scorsese did in “Mean Streets” and David Lynch did in “Blue Velvet,” invented a way to express how music and reality talk to each other.

With just a few days until the series finale of HBO‘s Succession, the question on everyone’s mind is if there are any spinoffs in the works.

Alison Herman TV Critic At the close of its fourth and final season, “Succession” occupies a place eerily analogous to that of fearsome patriarch Logan Roy. After Logan’s sudden, shocking death in the third episode, his colleagues and children (who were also his colleagues) had to scramble for an answer to the question that’s haunted the entire series: What — or rather, who — now? “Succession” itself is set to leave a Logan-sized hole in the cultural landscape, with its fan base asking the same question. The future is impossible to predict, as “Succession” so beautifully showed with its anticlimactic, out-of-nowhere take on Logan’s demise. Ahead of the May 28 series finale, however, we can look back on what made the show such an era-defining, Emmy-dominating hit. “Succession” is hardly the first to explore the inner lives of the ultrarich. But at the end of its run, it stands out as the least glamorous and most realistic of the genre. It’s also the most effective as social commentary: By zooming in on the Roys’ claustrophobic bubble and toxic family dynamic, “Succession” speaks to the world they helped shape in their image.

Prue Leith is much more than the sweet, innocent gal from The Great British Bake Off.

The CW revealed three more unscripted series after presenting its fall schedule.

Prue Leith has opened up about her relationship with her late husband Rayne Kruger, and admits their romance began as a years-long affair.

Prue Leith has revealed that she had a 13-year affair with her husband Rayne Kruger, who was married to South African actress Nan Munro at the time.The Great British Back Off judge, 83, shared that at the time of the affair both Rayne and Nan were family friends, with the latter being her mum's, actress Margaret Inglis, best friend. And perhaps even more bizarrely, despite the affair, Prue and Nan remained friends until the actress's death in 1992. Rayne died in 2002, at the age of 80, with Prue revealing the affair ten years later in her autobiography Relish: My Life on a Plate.
