THE creator of hit TV series Succession has confirmed the original script was based on Rupert Murdoch, following many years of speculation by fans and media.
Speaking in front of an audience at the Edinburgh TV Festival, the 52-year-old writer, also known for comedy series Peep Show and Fresh Meat, said: “I wrote a script about Rupert Murdoch and his family – the real people, which was the predecessor. When Murdoch and ex-wife Jerry Hall were going through their divorce, it was reported by Vanity Fair that Hall was banned from contacting the show’s producers in an effort to stop her providing them with ideas for storylines.He added: “I imagine that in their divorce agreement, she was probably restricted from talking to any number of media organisations.
He added: “What you need to know is the tone of the ending, so I guess I knew the tone of the ending right as the show starts.”
