Sarah Snook, known for her role in the hit TV series Succession, revealed that she has welcomed her first child. Snook, who played Shiv Roy in the series, announced her pregnancy at the show’s season four premiere in New York in March. The Australian actress, 35, posted a photo on Instagram of her and her new baby sitting in front of the TV ready to watch the show’s final episode. In the caption, she wrote an emotional tribute to the show that changed her life. She expressed gratitude for being part of the show, set the bar high for each other, and exceeded it and excelled in every department.
Snook said that it was hard to express what Succession has meant to her, the places she got to go, the immense talent she got to work with. It breaks her heart that it is all over, but she is grateful that her heart is full of all the memories, good times, challenges, and triumphs, to be able to break at all. She stated that she was going to miss the friendships, the scripts, the locations, the one-liners, the early mornings, the last-minute changes, all the highs, and lows. However, it was the people she would miss most of all.
Sarah Snook and her husband Dave Lawson got married last February. It is their first baby, and she announced that she was 32 weeks pregnant at the March premiere. She cradled her bump at her first public event in a year. Snook confirmed that she was pregnant while filming the show’s fourth and final season, and it was revealed in season four that Shiv was pregnant with her first child. Snook proposed to Lawson in October 2020, and they got married in the backyard of her home in Brooklyn, New York. She told Vogue in 2020 that she fell in love with her best friend who she had known since 2014.
HBO’s hit drama series Succession came to an epic end with its 90-minute series finale, which saw Snook’s character juggle her tumultuous marriage to Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) with her family business. The final vote on the merger with Lukas Matsson’s (Alexander Skarsgard) GoJo was held in the Waystar Royco board meeting, which was the highlight of the final episode entitled With Open Eyes.
Social media was ablaze with comments about the show’s many twists and turns, iconic moments, and stand-out lines. Topics such as ‘Tom Wambsgans,’ ‘Kendall,’ ‘Jeremy Strong,’ and ‘I AM THE ELDEST BOY’ trended on Twitter on Sunday evening. Succession has been a hit with audiences and critics alike since its debut in 2018, with Snook’s performance drawing praise from many. With Snook’s recent announcement about her first child, fans of the show are eagerly waiting for her future projects.
