‘Succession’ Ends With Upcoming Season 4: ‘I Think Maybe That Should Be It’

The reign of HBO’s Estate coming to an end.

Jesse Armstrong, creator of the award-winning HBO show, has confirmed that the upcoming fourth season will be the show’s last. “There’s a promise in the title of Succession. I never thought it could go on forever. The ending was always kind of on my mind. Ever since the second season, I’ve been trying to think: is- this the next one, or the one after, or is it the one after?” Armstrong told The New Yorker.

He continued, “I got together with a couple of my fellow writers before I started writing season four, around November, December 2021, and I kind of said, ‘Look, I think this maybe it should be. do you think?’

“And we played out different scenarios: we could do a few short seasons, or two more seasons. Or we could go on for hours and turn the show into something quite different, and be a longer and fun kind of show. freer, where there would be good weeks and bad weeks. Or we could do something a little bit more muscular and complete, and kind of come out strong. And that’s always been my preference.”

HBO did not issue a statement but confirmed the news.

The succession centers on the members of the Roy family as they fight for control of their ailing father’s entertainment empire. Among numerous awards, the show won Best Drama Series in 2020 and 2022 at the Emmys.

The series stars Hiam Abbass, Nicholas Braun, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Peter Friedman, Natalie Gold, Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Sarah Snook and Jeremy Strong.

Season 4 of Succession is set to premiere on HBO on March 26.
