Succession's series finale could've ended very differently for Kendall Roy if they had used a scene Jeremy Strong improvised.

[This article contains mentions of suicide. If you or someone you love is struggling with mental health, the 988 Lifeline is available 24/7] After almost five years of showing a broken family trying to decide who should continue their father's legacy, Succession has come to an end. All is said and done, and the fate of Waystar Royco has been decided, even if it wasn't the result the main characters were expecting.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This didn't sit right with Kendall , who was extremely confident about the fact that he would end up as the next Chief Executive Officer of Waystar Royco. After all, his father had promised the position to him ever since he was seven years old, in a moment that would define Kendall's life forever.

"In one of the takes, I climbed over the barrier. It always, to me, felt like there was no coming back from this. I looked at these waves, it was so windy and cold. There was a piece of metal clanging, it was a terrible sound and I couldn't bear it. I stood up and walked slowly to the barrier and climbed over it. And I didn't really know what I planned to do. The actor playing Colin saw me, ran and stopped me from doing it.

The idea of such a tragic fate for Kendall was played around with during several moments of the show, even if it wasn't as explicit as other developments for the character throughout his run. Ever since it was revealed that he caused the death of a young man during the first season of the show, Logan's son hasn't been able to live free of guilt, constantly questioning if he even deserves to be free.
