Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from Season 4, Episode 2 of “Succession,” now streaming on HBO Max. Kerry Castellabate is the most ambitious assistant on “Succession.” She’s been hovering over Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) shoulder since Season 2, and now she’s making a play at being an ATN news anchor as a major presidential election looms. Unfortunately, Kerry’s inexperience makes her as more of a laughingstock among the Roy family than a serious power player.
