The hit HBO show sees the Roy family plot, scheme and backstab their way to the top

It’s been more than a year since the Emmy-sweeping show about awful rich people last graced our screens, but Succession season four is finally here.

The fourth season of the show, which sees the Roy family plot, scheme and backstab their way to the top of the family’s global media empire, will provoke “existential angst and familial division among the Roys, as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed between Waystar Royco and Lukas Matsson.

But, sadly, the show will come to a close at the end of season four. On 23 February, Jesse Armstrong, the writer behind the hit HBO show, confirmed that season four of Succession would be the final one. “There’s a promise in the title of Succession. I’ve never thought this could go on forever,” he told The New Yorker

“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?” Armstrong said. “I got together with a few of my fellow writers before we started the writing of season four… and I sort of said, ‘Look, I think this maybe should be it’.”

Below, we’ve outlined all the details about Succession season four, including the UK release date, and where exactly you can watch the new season, as well as previous seasons.
