Sometimes reality is just wilder than fiction.
Lachlan Murdoch had a panic attack during the deal to sell 20th Century Fox to Disney! (A person close to him denies this but cmon lol.) Lachlan told Rupert that James was leaking stuff to Succession writers! There’s even a cameo by Rupert Murdoch’s former wife, Wendi Deng, who may have pushed him into a piano and fractured some of his vertebrae!
Oh and in case you were wondering about the real-life inspo for Connor Roy? It’s Prudence, and if you can’t get enough Prudence, I suggest you check out Michael Wolff’s Murdoch biography.
