Warning: Spoilers for the series finale (season 4, episode 10) of “Succession”.
During a conversation about “Succession”‘s series finale, which aired Sunday night, Jeremy Strong revealed there was an alternate ending and that he did indeed drink that awful-looking smoothie that his on-screen sister Shiv [Sarah Snook] served him.

On screen, Strong’s character takes a sip of the disgusting concoction, which he revealed he actually tasted on Sunday night’s episode of the official “Succession” podcast. Kendall’s siblings then reward him by dumping the smoothie over his head.
“We did it only a few times and then I went outside and retched and jumped in the ocean, and washed it off my hair,” Strong said of the scene. “Yeah, I did drink it, yeah.
“I wouldn’t know how not to drink it,” the committed actor said of the smoothie, which consisted of milk, bread crusts, Tabasco sauce, raw eggs, pickle juice, cocoa powder and Shiv’s spit. “He wants it that badly, that he’s going to drink whatever that is. But it was disgusting.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, Strong revealed that an alternate ending was filmed, but ultimately was cut from the episode.

Note: The following contains spoilers for the “Succession” series finale.Of the many moments in the “Succession” series finale that have sparked conversation and debate ever since it aired, perhaps the most charged might be the final scene between Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) – and creator Jesse Armstrong is now offering up his interpretation of that dead-fish handhold.Tom has been named CEO of Waystar Royco, now owned by Matsson’s (Alexander Skarsgard) Gojo, thanks to Shiv’s last-minute decision to change her vote at the board meeting and deny Kendall (Jeremy Strong) the chance to be CEO. In the moments following the vote, we see Tom ask Shiv to meet him in a car waiting downstairs and she hurridly declines, yet later on we see her join him in the vehicle, the new King and Queen side by side. Tom coldly offers up his hand and Shiv puts hers on top of his, not as a show of affection but of… resignation? Acquiescence? Deference?What precisely is going on there has been a matter of debate among fans, but Armstrong told NPR’s Fresh Air that he sees it as “terrifying equality.”“Everyone has their own view, and I can tell you mine, which is that for me it was a moment of equality,” the creator and showrunner said.
