Brian Cox, who had complained about the premature end of his tyrannical character Logan Roy in the hit HBO series "Succession", described on the BBC as a "genius" his British creator, Jesse Armstrong.
Hollywood screenwriters went on strike in May over the failure of negotiations with major studios and platforms for pay increases.
"Succession" is a cringing chronicle about ultra-rich siblings fighting for the empire of their patriarch, Logan Roy, inspired among others by the Australian-American Rupert Murdoch and played by Brian Cox. The series has established itself as a critical and popular success despite characters all more detestable than each other.
On the BBC, Brian Cox returned to the end of the series: "I deduce - I did not see the end - that my character was right because he knew that all this was going to happen".
