On the latest episode of Succession, Lukas Matsson wreaks even more havoc on the Roys’ home turf. “He leans into the chaos of it all and thrives on it,” explains Alexander Skarsgård.
was brilliant. To come on and do two episodes, I was beyond excited to do that.” Whenwrapped its third season, Skarsgård believed that he was hanging up his tech-bro sweatpants.
But in early 2022, Armstrong rang Skarsgård “to ask if I would be interested in revisiting Matsson.” Thecreator gave the actor a rough idea where Matsson would pick up in the new season—“not that he had to convince me, because I had the most amazing time on those few episodes I did last year,” Skarsgård says. Armstrong talked about “the broader business ideas of the season and how Matsson would come into this storyline with the siblings.
Armstrong did, however, make “a little weird side note, that potentially there was a girl whom Matsson was seeing. It’s kind of over, but he’s sending her.” Skarsgård interrupted Armstrong. “I was like, ‘I’m sorry, Jesse, what was that?’ He said, ‘Frozen bricks of blood, as kind of a joke.’” Says Skarsgård, “There was something so delicious about that. It was so deeply disturbing but also funny and weird. I was thrilled to hear that.”
The actor didn’t know of GoJo’s whack numbers until filming was underway, but that didn’t fluster him. “I thought it added to the eccentricities of the character—the fact that he’s so confident and such a bulldozer in many ways,” says Skarsgård. “Jesse obviously knew how he wanted to wrap it up, but there’s an incredible fluidity to the show. There are a lot changes from day one to day 97—Jesse and the other writers are very nimble.
