Alexander Skarsgård joins Succession Season 3

4th May 2021

Alexander Skarsgård has joined the cast of Succession Season 3.

The show, written by Peep Show’s Jesse Armstrong, follows the wealthy Roy family as they struggle to retain control of their media empire. With patriarch Logan unsure who to leave his kingdom to, and his privileged offspring squabble like children, the future of the family name looks increasingly uncertain.

The show’s cast includes Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Hiam Abbass, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen, with Holly Hunter, Cherry Jones, Danny Huston, Jeannie Berlin and Fisher Steven joining the cast for Season 2.

“Excruciatingly hilarious and flawlessly written, Jesse Armstrong’s biting satire is as gripping, funny and bleak as ever,” we wrote in our review of Season 2. Before that sophomore run had even ended, HBO had already ordered a third run.

Now, Succession has expanded its cast with another starry name: Alexander Skarsgård. Skarsgård, who is already known to HBO viewers for his roles in Big Little Lies and True Blood, will play Lukas Matsson, described as “a successful, confrontational tech founder and CEO”. Season 3 will see Logan in a perilous position, as he scrambles to secure familial, political, and financial alliances.

Production on Season 3 was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic last year, but is now underway in New York.
