All the Brian Cox movies and TV shows to watch after ‘Succession’

Brian Cox still commands attention long after the lights came down on Succession. That signature line from the show, delivered with his usual steel, keeps echoing in fan conversations and late-night clips alike. The actor has kept moving since the series wrapped, adding directing, fresh stage work, and new screen roles to an already stacked resume. Season three conversations have long given way to what comes next, and the answer keeps expanding.

The Final Curtain Call for Logan Roy

Cox has spoken warmly about the final season in the years since it aired. Logan Roy exits early, a choice that surprised even the man playing him, yet Cox later praised the decision as the right cut. The family power struggles and sharp reversals stayed true to Jesse Armstrong’s vision, and Cox’s performance anchored the final stretch. He has continued to call the experience transformative, pointing to the tight ensemble and the show’s willingness to let consequences land without softening. Fans still revisit the funeral secrecy measures, including Cox showing up on set when he was not needed, to keep the story secure.

Teaching the Craft

The BBC Maestro acting course remains available, still built around Cox’s no-frills advice to learn the lines and stay out of the furniture’s way. 007: Road to a Million returned for a second season in August 2025, shifting to a new format that added a deputy controller while Cox kept his role as the Controller. Long Day’s Journey Into Night has moved into the rearview, replaced by later stage commitments. The course keeps its straightforward structure, twenty-five lessons across five hours, and continues to draw students interested in Cox’s direct approach.

Directing Debut: Glenrothan

Cox stepped behind the camera for the first time with Glenrothan, released in April 2026. He also stars in the film alongside Alan Cumming, and he has said the character sits closer to his own background than most roles he has taken. Making the leap at seventy-nine marked a clear shift from acting-only credits. The project draws on Scottish settings and themes, giving Cox a chance to shape tone and story from the start. Early responses have noted the personal stakes he brought to both the performance and the direction.

Returning to the Stage: Recent Theater Roles

Theater work has stayed central. In 2025 Cox played Adam Smith in Make It Happen at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he also joined a related fundraiser. The Score moved from earlier runs to the West End’s Theatre Royal Haymarket that same year. Plans call for a United States premiere in summer 2026. These dates follow the completed 2024 production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night and show Cox keeping a steady presence on stage between screen jobs.

Voice Work and Animation

Voice roles have added variety. Cox supplied the voice of Helm Hammerhand in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in 2024. In 2025 he lent his voice to Raoul Wallenberg: Missing Inaction and to The Last Leg, where he voiced Santa Claus. Additional credits include My Brother the Minotaur, slated for 2026, and Super Troopers 3, already completed. These projects sit alongside his live-action work and give listeners a different register of the same familiar timbre.

Succession Movie Possibilities

Cox has left the door open for a film continuation. In 2024 he told Variety he would consider a movie if Jesse Armstrong wanted to make one and if the script met the standard. No project has been announced, yet the comment keeps the conversation alive among fans who want another chapter. The series finale, With Open Eyes, still stands as the official close, but the possibility of a later feature remains on the table without any firm timeline.

The Final Goodbye

Succession’s run redefined prestige television for a new audience, and Cox’s Logan Roy remains the gravitational center of that achievement. The show’s mix of family tension and corporate maneuvering set a high bar that later series continue to measure themselves against. Cox has moved into new territory while carrying the lessons and visibility the series gave him. The cultural footprint stays intact, and his post-Succession slate shows an actor still choosing projects that test range rather than repeat past success.
