Taking to Instagram, Logan Roy actor Brian Cox wrote: “We have now come to the end. And what has been, in my career, certainly the greatest work experience ever. The harmony between crew and cast was truly amazing.
“It was on its way to become a great series but the love and commitment from crew to cast and writers made it memorable. I would like to thank all of us in the making and creating of this show from the very bottom of my heart.”

“But my heart had to be this full of all the memories, good times, challenges and triumphs, to be able to break at all… so that makes me grateful. To have been blessed to join this crazy adventure of a show will be a career highlight, which will no doubt be hard to top.”
Snook went on to say she’s “proud and humbled” by everyone’s hard work over the four seasons. “The friendships, the scripts, the locations, the one liners, the early mornings, the last minute changes, all the highs and lows: I’m going to miss it all,” she continued, adding that it’s the “people” she’ll miss the most.
