“Emotionally we weren’t all ready to be done with the show because we all love each other so much,” the star said.
Sarah revealed that the cast was shocked by the ending, revealing that they were not aware of the decision until they read the script for episode ten.
She added, “It’s a bold decision to go out on a high — it’s like ‘oh we’re really successful, everybody loves the show, we love doing it? Let’s call it quits.’
“But everything comes to an end and it’s not smart to let something become a parody of itself.”
Her comments come after the third episode of Succession’s final season proved to be the most explosive yet, as a shocking death just before a family wedding rocks the Roys.
The family was on a trip to watch Connor Roy (Alan Ruck) tie the knot with fiancé Willa (Justine Lupe) before receiving the shocking news about the family’s patriarch.
In the run-up to the big day, Willa seemed hesitant to tie the knot with the eccentric Connor, the eldest of Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) children.
Connor was nervous that his father wouldn’t come to the wedding, but he couldn’t have imagined how things would turn out.

Viewers watched as the media mogul took his last breath on a flight, while the Roy kids told their dad they loved him in an emotional phone call.
Brain Cox appeared on Monday’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and talked about his character’s shocking death.
He admitted on the show that he was “hopeless at keeping secrets,” adding that keeping the secret of Logan Roy’s death was “an absolute triumph.”
In the end, he helped keep the secret in a completely different way, when he showed up to his own funeral scene, which of course disguised the fact that it was Logan’s funeral.
The subterfuge worked, with Colbert Cox even showing a DailyMail.com headline from January when the scene was filmed… speculating who on the show may have died.
Brain later added that his co-star Sarah thought the show would get another fifth season.
“No one knew how it would end. She thought it would continue. I said you know it’s over. She said no, it’s on.
We’re going to do a fifth season. I said I don’t think we will. She said I think we will. At the very last readthrough, she still didn’t know the show was going to end,” Cox said of Snook.
When asked how he first found out that his character was going to die, Cox said he was “called to HQ and I got the news that he was leaving.”
He added that they didn’t say when he would die, but he said ‘fine’ and added, ‘It’s a job. There’s another job. It’s one of many.’

While adding that he’s done more than 209 movies and TV shows over the years, Logan Roy was “one of the greatest roles of all time.”
‘You can’t stand it. It’s been fantastic. But I just knew it had to come to an end and I admire, I admire Jesse Armstrong so much because it was a brave decision,” Cox said.
“I will miss the cast, the great great great crew. We have a crew. We have cameramen. It’s a real egalitarian show. That was the beauty of it.’
