Succession season 4 production begins as HBO teases a family civil war

Succession, season 4

The Roy family will return to squabble for another year as HBO has announced that production on Succession season 4 is now underway.

Not only that, but HBO has also released the official logline for Succession season 4 that teases what the Roy family will be up to. The third season finale found media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox) making a deal to sell Waystar Royco to Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard), going behind the backs of his children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), and Roman (Kieran Culkin). The new season will continue where the last left off. “The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer,” reads the Succession season 4 logline. “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.

In addition to Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, and Kieran Culkin, Succession season 4 will also star Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Justine Lupe, Scott Nicholson, Zoë Winters and Jeannie Berlin. When the third season concluded last year, Brian Cox told THR that despite his character selling the company, there’s “always life in Logan that comes up.

[The Roy siblings] write Logan off from time to time; they always put impediments in his way, ‘Oh, he’s got an UTI; oh, he’s hurt his leg.’ They’re always trying to scupper him in some way — the writers are as well — but Logan is a force of nature. He just keeps on going. And he’s a man of incredible reserve. He’s an extraordinary survivor — he has been all his life — and so I would not guarantee anything on that front, quite frankly.

Even though production is underway for season 4, Succession is one of those shows that I keep meaning to watch but just haven’t found the time. One of these days.
