Brian Cox has teased the third season of Succession will be ''even better'' than the second and promised it will be worth the wait for fans.
The 74-year-old actor, who plays cruel media tycoon Logan Roy on the hit show, said he has already laid eyes on the upcoming scripts and is hopeful filming will resume before the year is out.
Speaking to Reader's Digest magazine, he said: ''We were supposed to start on April 20. We never started. I mean, we're still waiting. We'll hopefully go at the end of the year or the beginning of the next.
''I'll tell you this much. I know what's happening," he said.
''I can't tell you what's happening but I'll tell you that it's even better than season two.''
The Scottish star admitted he loves playing the brash leader of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar Royco and thinks "it's a great role".
''I love it. It's a great role and it's going on through so many shifts. But the time you get to 'boar on the floor', you have a glimpse of the demonic," he said.
Cox said he is ''quite grateful'' to still be working in his 70s and reveals it has "been quite conscious on my part".
"Somebody once actually said to me, 'It's the long haul Brian' and they were right and I thought about that. I thought, 'Yeah, I still want to do this when I'm 70. So I am and I'm still doing it!
''It's worked out the way I hoped it would work out. So I actually feel quite grateful for that.
''But it's also been quite conscious on my part."
''Time is such a funny thing - it all seems to be very short. Especially during lockdown. I get up in the morning and I go to bed just after I've got up. What happened?''
