Everything We Know About “Succession” Season 4

2 years ago

The Roys are gearing up for another season of drama surrounding the power struggle for control of Waystar Royco, and we can hardly wait to watch it unfold! Created by Jesse Armstrong, the hit drama follows Logan Roy, the selfish and manipulative patriarch of the Roy dynasty, who pits his four children against one another to see who’s “worthy” of taking over his behemoth media and entertainment conglomerate.

Following the explosive season three finale of “Succession,” the anticipation surrounding the imminent fourth instalment couldn’t be higher. The critically acclaimed HBO series was renewed for season four in October 2021, just a week after season three’s premiere, and if the previous season was any indication, more high-stakes familial drama and internal politics will ensue.

Since filming for season four of the Emmy-winning drama has already kicked off, viewers are eagerly awaiting an official premiere date. Scroll through the gallery to get all the scoop on the upcoming fourth season of “Succession,” including plot details, returning cast ensemble, and more.

“Succession” Season 4 Plot

The official logline for the upcoming season four suggests that the story will pick up right after the dramatic events of the season three finale. “The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves 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 completed. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed,” HBO teased.

Will the Roy siblings be able to come out from under the shocking aftermath of Logan’s ultimate game plan to keep them from inheriting the family business? Also, Tom’s betrayal of Shiv has got to be the final straw for their marriage, right? Well, it’s not so simple. If “Succession” has taught us anything over the years, it’s to expect the unexpected. Hopefully, season four of the family drama will resolve these burning questions as viewers brace for more twists and turns.
