Court documents reveal that “Succession” actor Nicholas Braun will not face charges following his August arrest in New Hampshire, where he was accused of driving under the influence. The case involving Braun, 37, has been formally dismissed, with both “DUI — impairment” and “operating without lights” allegations dropped.

Toxicology results confirmed Braun’s blood alcohol concentration was below 0.08%, the legal limit for drivers over 21 in New Hampshire, at the time of his arrest. Police reported that Braun was stopped on Lee Road in Moultonborough just after 11 p.m. on August 30 for driving without headlights during nighttime hours. He was taken into custody on suspicion of impairment and booked at the Carroll County Jail before being released later that night without bail.

Braun entered a not guilty plea on September 12, with an arraignment scheduled for September 16 later canceled. As part of his release conditions, he was ordered to abstain from alcohol and controlled substances while awaiting further proceedings. The case remained open through the fall before being dismissed this week after toxicology findings confirmed his BAC met legal standards.

Braun is best known for portraying Greg Hirsch — “Cousin Greg” — on HBO’s “Succession,” which concluded in May 2023 after four seasons. He has also appeared in films such as “Sky High” and “Minutemen,” and recently starred in the 2024 biopic “Saturday Night.” Additionally, he is promoting an off-Broadway adaptation of Rajiv Joseph’s “Gruesome Playground Injuries.”

Court filings confirm no further legal action is pending against Braun in connection with the August incident.
