K.J. Yossman Roy kids beware: Mom’s not done with you yet. Harriet Walter is set to make a reappearance as Roy matriarch Lady Caroline Collingwood in this season of “Succession,” she confirmed to Variety.

Walter, who plays the late Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) waspish ex-wife in the HBO hit series, said she will be present at the Waystar chief’s funeral “unless I’ve been cut.” Logan’s shocking death was successfully kept a secret from fans until Episode 3 aired earlier this month.

Cox even attempted to throw paparazzi off the scent during the shoot by turning up at his own character’s funeral. Walter said she knew whose funeral she was attending during the shoot, but she was one of the last cast members to learn about Logan’s death. “I found out quite late on, I have to say,” she told Variety. “But no, I knew.

Absolutely, of course, they wouldn’t keep that from me. But I suppose nowadays, we have to be very careful what leaks out. Not because it’s top secret, but because it spoils it for people, that’s the only reason you keep it.
