Kieran Culkin (‘Succession’): Emmys episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Kieran Culkin is entering the “Succession” episode “Church and State”” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actor. “Church and State” aired on May 21, 2023, and is the ninth and penultimate episode of the HBO drama’s fourth and final season.

In “Church and State,” as the Roy family members gird themselves for patriarch Logan’s (Brian Cox) wrenching and emotional funeral, Kendall (Jeremy Strong) finds himself at odds with Rava (Natalie Gold) and receives inopportune news from Jess (Juliana Canfield). Later, it’s back to scheming and plotting as usual as the pregnant Shiv (Sarah Snook) tries to reposition herself within a new political landscape and Kendall rallies supporters to his side. The episode was written by series creator Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Mylod.
