“Let’s blow it up.” That’s the sound of Succession returning for its fourth and final season, and a new trailer gives us a look at the conflict brewing.

Succession explores themes of power and family dynamics through the eyes of patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his four grown children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Siobhan (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck). Season 4 sees the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) move ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.

The season premieres on 27th March, with each episode arriving weekly at 2am on Sky Atlantic and NOW. Here’s the trailer:

 

Succession to end with Season 4

24th February 2023

Succession will officially end with Season 4.

The HBO drama explores themes of power and family dynamics through the eyes of patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his four grown children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Siobhan (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck).

The show has been a hit since its debut run and become a flagship HBO show, with Matthew Macfadyen’s Tom and Nicholas Braun’s Greg both emerging as fan favourites. They’ll all be back on our screens this March, as Season 4 sees the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) move ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.

Now, however, we know that the future will soon be decided for good, with Season 4 set to be the last chapter in the Roy family saga.

Creator Jesse Armstrong revealed the news in an interview with the New Yorker.

“It’s been a bit tortured, and I felt unexpectedly nervous,” he said, “because it’s all theoretical until this point, and I have tried to keep it theoretical for a whole number of reasons. Who knows about the psychological reasons, but the creative ones were that it felt really useful to not make the final, final decision for ages. You know, there’s a promise in the title of Succession. I’ve never thought this could go on forever.”

HBO has also previously confirmed that there will not be any spin-offs from the show.

Season 4 will premiere on Monday 27th March, with episodes arriving weekly. Each episode will simulcast at 2am on Sky Atlantic and NOW, then be repeated at 9pm as well as available on-demand.

Yesterday, Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, confirmed that a fourth chapter has already been greenlit. With each season of Succession, Jesse Armstrong has continued to surpass our wildest expectations, pulling us deeper into the Roy family’s inner sanctum with indelible wit, humanity, and precision. This season is undoubtedly no exception, and we couldn’t be more excited for all that’s in store in this next season ahead.”

“Jesse Armstrong’s exquisitely crafted tragicomedy goes full beast in this funny, scathing and human third chapter,” we wrote in our review of the third season.
