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.
In the scene where the Roy siblings — Shiv (Snook), Kendall (Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) — celebrate their agreement to support Kendall’s claim to the Waystar Royco throne, their late-night gathering in the kitchen of their mother’s Babados home sees Shiv — whom supposedly reenacts a childhood game called “Fit For A King” — mix multiple ingredients into a smoothie for King Kendall to drink.

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. READ MORE: ‘Succession’ Series Finale Has Fans Bidding Farewell To The Roy
