Q: What are the stars of Succession doing now that the series has ended? I know the actor who played Kendall is doing theater, but what about the other siblings? — N.G.
A: Yes, Jeremy Strong, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of troubled son Kendall Roy on HBO’s Succession, is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People. His performance is scheduled for a 16-week run only. However, he’s also starring in The Apprentice, a film about Donald Trump’s rise to power in the ’70s and ’80s, which recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. In the film, Strong plays attorney Roy Cohn to Sebastian Stan’s (I, Tonya) Trump.
Alan Ruck, who played presidential candidate Connor Roy in Succession, recently co-starred in the film The Burial with Jamie Foxx. You can stream it on Amazon Prime Video. Next up for the Emmy-nominated actor is the horror comedy Crust and the crime film Wind River: The Next Chapter.
Kieran Culkin, who won an Emmy in the final season for the even more troubled son Roman Roy, stars opposite Jesse Eisenberg in the upcoming film A Real Pain. It’s listed as a comedy-drama, so hopefully, his character won’t be as tortured as Roman was.
Lastly, the only Roy daughter — but just as much of a force to be reckoned with — was played by the Emmy-winning Sarah Snook. She’s set to star in the upcoming Peacock series All Her Fault as a mother whose son goes missing. It’s based on the novel of the same title by Andrea Mara.

Q: Is there going to be another Knives Out sequel? If so, when? — A.I.
A: According to Entertainment Weekly, the game is “once again afoot for renowned detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig).” Knives Out, a hit whodunit film, has spawned one sequel already, called Glass Onion, and another is on the way, titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Look for it to premiere in 2025, likely around Thanksgiving. The cast of the third installment includes Glenn Close (Hillbilly Elegy), Mila Kunis (Black Swan) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), with the setting still a mystery. EW hints that the teaser video gave off “some seriously spooky, Gothic vibes.”

Q: Will season three of The Bear be on FX or just on Hulu? I’m excited that they’re finally airing the two previous seasons on regular cable. — L.A.
A: The FX channel is finally airing the first two seasons of the Emmy-winning comedy (which many call a drama) The Bear. Although FX and Hulu have a partnership, the show wasn’t available on FX until now. Despite the show already being a huge hit for the streamer, they’re hoping to lure in even more subscribers to Hulu by getting them hooked on the series on FX first.
So, yes, the third season will only be available on Hulu later this month on June 27, but if you still don’t wish to pay for Hulu, you’ll probably get a chance to catch up on the series next summer, too.
