Twenty years ago this would have been a tawdry, by-the-numbers family drama, a streamlined Bold and Beautiful even. But Jesse Armstrong, creator of this show, has a career that includes Peep Show, In the Loop, and Four Lions, so he’s more than well aware of how absurd these people are. And he leans into it hard.

  • Armstrong’s as happy to roll his eyes at the Logan family as he is to deliver some legit pun punches. And that’s where Succession really comes alive.
  • It’s like finding an extra, surprisingly good ingredient in a dish you thought you knew.

Is Succession Season 4 the last season?

Succession, the Emmy-winning HBO drama that helped redefine the premium cable network following the end of Game of Thrones, is ending.

Creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong revealed that the upcoming fourth season will indeed be its final run on the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed premium cable network, telling the New Yorker that

there’s a promise in the title of Succession. I’ve never thought this could go on forever. The end has always been kind of present in my mind. From season two, I’ve been trying to think: Is it the next one, or the one after that, or is it the one after that?”

Series star Jeremy Strong also had previously addressed the possibility of this being the case.
