Behind-the-Scenes Chemistry

Smith-Cameron and Culkin have previously shared insights into their close relationship and its impact on their performances in Succession. In a March 2023 interview with Esquire, the actress revealed that she and the Golden Globe winner were kind of always flirting on set.

While clarifying that it was never a genuine flirtation, she acknowledged that their playful banter contributed to the dynamic of the fan-favourite characters on the show.

The fourth and final season of Succession earned an impressive 27 nominations at the 2023 Emmy Awards. The series ultimately clinched several accolades, notably securing the prestigious Outstanding Drama Series Award along with three honours in acting categories.
