Nicholas Braun was arrested on a DUI charge over Labor Day weekend in New Hampshire.

The “Succession” star, 37, was pulled over by police in Moultonborough, NH, on Friday, Aug. 29, The Post can confirm. He was arrested for DUI-impairment and operating without lights.

Braun was held in Carroll County jail for about one hour and released on his own recognizance, per TMZ.

Although no bail was set, the “Sky High” actor will reportedly have to return for an upcoming court date.

Additionally, Braun was reportedly not subjected to a mug shot because the department’s police camera was not working at the time of the actor’s booking.

Braun’s reps did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Braun starred as Roy family lackey Cousin Greg in “Succession” for all four seasons of the hit HBO series from 2018 to 2023.

His role as the great-nephew of Logan Roy (Brian Cox) earned Braun three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series during the show’s run.

But following the “Succession” series finale in May 2023, the actor admitted that he couldn’t believe his time on the show was over.

“We’ve been doing it for so long it feels like: Of course we’ll be doing more; I’m sure we have a start date coming up where we’ll be filming again,” he told the Hollywood Reporter at the time.

“That isn’t true,” Braun continued. “So I’m kind of adjusting to the fact that’s it. I feel so proud of the show and the finale. I just really feel a sense of pride and gratitude about it all.”

However, the actor has landed several roles since “Succession” came to an end two years ago.

Last year, Braun starred in the “Saturday Night Live” biopic “Saturday Night” in a dual role as entertainer Andy Kaufman and Muppets creator Jim Henson.

He recently starred in the Dakota Johnson flick “Splitsville” earlier this year, and is set to appear alongside Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson in the 2026 movie “Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie.”

Although Braun largely keeps his personal life private, he took to social media earlier this year to wish his girlfriend, Hyunji Ward, a happy birthday.

“HBD to my sweet sweet DARLING of a girlfriend!” he wrote on Instagram in March. “You are the absolute joy of my life. You make me my best self! Like when you said that I could pull off this shirt full of forks. You were right. Love you dearly.”
