The Roy Family Is Back! ‘Succession’ Season 4 Premiere Date, Cast Details and More
They’re back and ready to wreak havoc once again! Succession season 3 left viewers with a major cliffhanger as the Roy family continues their civil war going into a fourth season.
“Everything I try to do, people turn against me,” patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) said in the Succession season 4 teaser trailer released in October 2022. “I’m 100-feet tall. These people are pygmies.”
From the sound of it, nothing has changed and Logan is definitely not getting soft as the show continues. Keep reading for all the season 4 details, including release date, full cast and more.
How Did ‘Succession’ Season 3 End?
With the ultimate betrayal. Shiv Roy’s (Sarah Snook) husband, Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen), tips Logan off about his kids’ plans to shut down the impending sale of the family’s company, Waystar Royco.
What Will ‘Succession’ Season 4 Be About?
According to the first teaser trailer, the show will focus on “the rebel alliance,” which consists of Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv Roy. It’s unclear where Connor (Alan Ruck) stands in his family’s battle since his brothers and sister left him out of their big plan.
“New-gen Roys,” Kendall told his siblings in the teaser. “We have a song to sing.”
Previously, HBO did share an official synopsis for season 4.
“The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer,” the logline reads. “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.”
Who Will Star in ‘Succession’ Season 4?
All the major players will be reprising their roles, including Alexander Skarsgård, whose character Lukas Matsson made his debut during the show’s third season.
Alexander told The Hollywood Reporter in January 2023 that the forthcoming fourth season will be “manicured.” Nicholas Braun — who plays fan-favorite cousin Greg — also told the publication how he would describe the upcoming batch of episodes, calling season 4 a “banger” overall.
“Absolute banger,” he added “Fire season.”
The ‘Succession’ Season 4 Premiere Date
When releasing a second trailer, HBO revealed that the show would return on March 26, 2023.
Is Season 4 the Final Season of ‘Succession’?
The show’s creator, Jesse Armstrong, confirmed during a profile with the New Yorker in February 2023 that the series would not continue after the fourth season.
“It’s pretty definitively the end, so then it just might be uncomfortable having to sort of dissemble like a politician for ages about it,” he said, in part. “Hopefully, the show is against bulls–t, and I wouldn’t like to be bulls–tting anyone when I was talking about it.”
Days before the announcement about the show’s end, Jeremy spoke about the future of the show during a profile with GQ released in February 2023. At the time, the publication noted that the fourth season could be the last.
“It will feel like a death, in a way,” he told the magazine about playing Kendall Roy, explaining that his costars could take on other roles admitted the show, claiming that he’s jealous of “that freedom to just shoot yourself out of some different cannons. Sometimes Kendall feels like the same cannon over and over again.”
Jeremy added, “When I was younger, I saw the future in the crosshairs. I don’t feel that anymore. There is a feeling of ‘Now what?’ that I don’t have the answer to.”
