Succession has become one of the best series on TV; it’s managed to keep things interesting, and just when we thought we’d seen it all and things couldn’t get any worse, Season 3 kicked off the Roys upside down and showed that they are more treacherous, calculating, and dangerous than they first appeared.
Succession Season 3 of Succession started with a bang when Kendall Roy accused her dad of being behind the company scandal (to show him he was a bully), leaving everyone in crisis and divided.

New alliances were formed, war was declared, and everyone removed their gloves. Shiv, Kendall, Roman, Logan, and Conor had their agendas and plans, but things never go how everyone wants, and there is always someone who ends up more affected than the rest. This time, Kendall almost died, and the three brothers (because Connor has his problems) were “victims” of one of the biggest betrayals of the series (by Tom, no less, and Greg).
The season ended on a cliffhanger, but fortunately, a fourth is already confirmed (which will be the last), and that is where the company’s fate will be decided. Therefore the future of the children hangs on a very fragile thread.
The Trailer
The synopsis reads: In the fourth and final season, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson draws ever closer. The potential sale causes existential angst and family division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will be like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family considers a future in which their cultural and political weight is drastically reduced.
When does the New Season Premiere?
It was confirmed that season 4 would have ten chapters and arrive on the platform on March 26 this year, with one chapter each week.

Variety revealed the official synopsis for the season: “In the 10-episode fourth season, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson draws ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale causes existential angst and family division among the Roys as they anticipate their lives once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs a future in which its cultural and political weight is severely reduced.
Will the Brothers Try to Regain Control?
Part of the point of the series is to meet the successor to Logan Roy (Brian Cox), which is precise what season 4 has to show. The series creator said it would not last more than 4 or 5 seasons, so there is little time left for the patriarch Roy to select the person to take his place.
Theories say that none of the brothers is going to take the throne. Everything points to the fact that it could be Luka Matsson, the character played by Alexander Skarsgard, who finally gets the job. Still, if the brothers find out, they could do something to change it, but for that, they will have to work together in a way they haven’t done before.
Will Logan Roy Die?
Logan has already made it clear to his kids that he won’t let them get kicked out of his own company unless he makes the decision, and that’s what he’s doing. Logan is like a king in the world of the series, and his children know it, so some believe that the only way to get rid of him could be if he dies, which would also allow them to stop a possible purchase of the company.
Who Come Back?
Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, and J. Smith-Cameron are confirmed for the season, along with Alexander Skarsgard. Still, Variety reports that several new cast members are being added this time around, including Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Justine Lupe, Scott Nicholson, Zo Winters, and Jeannie Berlin.
HBO says that Annabeth Gish, Adam Godley, Eili Harboe, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson will be the new cast members in this new season. Harriet Walter (Lady Caroline Collingwood), James Cromwell (Ewan Roy), Natalie Gold (Rava Roy), Caitlin Fitzgerald (Tabitha), Ashley Zukerman (Nate Sofrelli), Larry Pine (Sandy Furness), Mark-Linn Baker (Maxim Pierce), and Pip Torrens (Peter Munion) return to the series.
