The show has won 13 Emmy Awards so far ahead of the fourth season, which has been confirmed by HBO and creator Jesse Armstrong will be the last. The final season of the series is set to premiere on Sunday, March 26.
Snook revealed that she was pregnant while filming the final scenes of the show but they did not need to worry about covering her blossoming baby bump up.
She added: "I mean, you couldn't super tell. Because it's not super big, at least at the moment."
Last month, Armstrong explained how he decided it was time to wrap things up and write a conclusion to the complicated drama surrounding a media dynasty, and admits he felt "a bit tortured" during the process of officially ending things.
Speaking to The New Yorker, the British writer said: "It’s been a bit tortured, and I felt unexpectedly nervous about talking to you, because it’s all theoretical until this point, and I have tried to keep it theoretical for a whole number of reasons.
Succession has won numerous awards in the first three seasons of the HBO drama series (Getty Images for Critics Choice)"Who knows about the psychological reasons, but the creative ones were that it felt really useful to not make the final, final decision for ages."
Armstrong revealed how he got together with a few of his fellow-writers in December 2021, before work began on season four, and mused how the upcoming series should be the final one.
He recalled how they discussed several scenarios for how the plot could have continued but ultimately Armstrong and his fellow writers opted to "go out sort of strong" and decided season four will be the final offering from the Roy family and their woes.
