Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has ruled out the possibility of spin-off shows for his award-winning dark comedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hit drama series<\/a> swept the board at the 2023 Emmy Awards<\/a> earlier this week, sparking speculation over potential show spin-offs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Armstrong<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>told BBC Radio 4\u2019s Today it \u201cdoesn\u2019t feel like the most interesting thing to do to me\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The writer added that he had \u201cwritten them [the characters] enough now\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Succession<\/a> picked up six awards at the 2023 Emmy awards including the night\u2019s biggest award for best drama series, while<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Kieran Culkin<\/span>, <\/span>Sarah Snook<\/span> and <\/span>Matthew Macfadyen all took home acting awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Macfayden, who played Tom Wambsgan on the show, was asked about the idea of a possible spin-off for his character backstage at the awards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would never say never, but highly unlikely\u2026 it would all depend on what Jesse Armstrong wanted to do,\u201d he told reporters.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cBut Jesse\u2019s instinct, and all our instinct is that it ended in the right place. We didn\u2019t tie it up, we left them to just carry on in their strange and frightening world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAs nice as it would be to work with everybody again, I think it would be strange to do a spin-off. But who knows?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
