Is There A Season 4 To Succession?
In season 1, after Logan suffers a stroke, Kendall attempts to take over complete control of the company. He tries to do so by attempting a vote of no confidence in his father’s leadership, and when that doesn’t work his next move is to attempt a hostile takeover.
Later in the series, Kendall’s drunk driving kills a waiter at Shiv’s wedding and Logan tries to cover up the incident. Along with that, Logan also demands Kendall withdraw his support of the takeover bid.
The second season follows Kendall doing his father’s bidding, and Logan leads shiv to believe that she can be the next CEO.
Later, when a string of sexual harassment and cover-ups at the company is revealed, Logan demands Kendall to take responsibility for the same, but instead, Kendall chooses to become and whistleblower and ends up publicly blaming Logan for the whole thing.
Then in the third season, Kendall can be seen attempting to wage a legal as well as public-opinion campaign against Logan’s leadership while also trying to maintain the family’s ownership of the company.
But along the way, he starts to lose focus and ignores advice from his lawyers and PR advisors which leads his campaign to lose momentum.
Towards the end, Logan ends up selling the company while his children unite against him for the first time but fails to prevent the sale.
What Will Be Succession Season 4 Be About?
No release date has been announced yet. The logline provided for Succession Season 4 by HBO doesn’t reveal much. It can be considered provocative, given the ending of season 3.
Logan decides to sell the company to Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) and removes his children from the company board in order to do so. The season 3 finale was a shocker- siblings Roman Roy, Shiv Roy, and Kendall Roy banded together.
This prospect provokes the siblings to band together as they begin to anticipate what their lives would look like if this deal went through.
One thing that can now be expected and is pretty obvious is that succession season 4 will be an all-out war between the family and business unit.
Up until now the major goal for Logan was to protect his company but now with him sealing the company, a major piece of what keeps him going won’t be there anymore. So, what will he do now?
Succession Season 4 Plot
Since the beginning of Succession, the audience has wondered which Roy sibling will be presented with the opportunity to sit on the throne.
Turns out none of them! In the season 3 finale, Logan decided to peruse the buyout deal for Waystar by Lukas Matsson.
Logan also revisits his divorce agreement with his wife, Caroline Collingwood (Harriet Walter), which would strip them of any power or supermajority against him and override his plan. Instead of the Kendall vs Logan duo that fans are used to, season 4 will focus a great deal on the buying out or Waystar to Lukas Matsson.
In a recent post-Emmy-nomination interview, Brian Cox said that by the end of season 3, Logan is tired of his children not being able to partner with each other. He added, that fans can expect Logan to look up to his children and want them to “do something original” in upcoming episodes.
Keeping in mind how damaged, obnoxious, and power-hungry all the Roy siblings are, they are not going to let this go without a solid fight.
Where To Watch Succession Season 4?
As it is an HBO show, it is available through HBO on cable and HBO Max for those with the relevant subscriptions.
Another option is to include an add-on subscription to your pre-existing Hulu plan or Amazon Prime Video account. Or you can also buy individual episodes or seasons through Amazon, Google Play, YouTube TV, and iTunes, the usual host of services.
For a brief time during the beginning of the pandemic, Succession was made free to watch by HBO. Sadly, that isn’t the case anymore.
