Yes, Waystar, Royco shareholders: Succession Season 4 is about to begin. After the events of Succession Season 3, we can't wait to see how the Roy siblings will fight their way out of this situation. Of course, spoilers for the Succession Season 3 finale are expected below!

News of "Succession" Season 4 came early in the Season 3 run: on October 26, just between episodes 2 and 3, HBO announced that it would order a fourth season of the Roy family drama. Parent company Warner Media broke the news in a press release, saying, "[Succession's] Season 3 premiere drew more than 1.4 million viewers across all platforms, a series high and the best premiere night for an HBO original series since the launch of HBO Max."

stated.

That range is not a long span, as it begins May 27, 2020, and includes "His Dark Materials," "Perry Mason," "Nevers," "How to be John Wilson Season 1," "White Lotus," and possibly a "Euphoria" special Both programs include.

Speaking to GQ UK, Brian Cox confirmed that the rough plan is for production to begin in June 2022. Now, what inferences can we make from this?

Since we do not believe that the delayed production cycle of Season 3 (which began in fall 2020, premiered on October 17, 2021, and suffered from Covid-19-related delays) should be viewed as a precedent, let us look back at the Season 2 schedule.

The second season was set for June 11, 2018, with the earliest reported start of filming popping up in March 2019. It then premiered on August 11, 2019.

That would make a December 2022/January 2023 release date for "Succession" Season 4 very likely. Of course, it will be available on HBO and HBO Max (one of the best streaming services of our choice).

Now, after the finale, it has been confirmed that Jeremy Strong will return as Kendall Roy. It turns out that the ending of Season 3 Episode 8 was just the prelude to Ken's near-death experience when he was found face down in the pool. It was also a nod to BoJack Horseman, who wanted his writers on his Twitter account earlier this season.

We also expect the rest of the cast to return: the return of Nicholas Brown as Gregory Hirsch, Matthew McFadyen as Tom Wamsgans, and J. Smith-Cameron as Jeri Kelman. Alexander Skarsgård as Lucas Mattson, owner of the GoJo Corporation and a tech tycoon, is sure to return. There's also Justin Kirk as conservative politician Jerryd Mencken.

The big story right now, as we saw in the finale, is that the brothers are being forced out of decision-making because Logan and his mother Caroline Collingwood are behind the scenes. And Tom, ever the cunning one, seems to be the snitch who tipped off their parents about their plans.

Yes, Jerry is now interim CEO of Wester Royco, but who knows how long that will last.

The storyline for Season 4 of "Succession" is likely to be much the same as Season 3, but instead of Kendall being the only one on the outside, Shiv, Roman, and Ken will be fighting to stop Logan. [Of course, with the GoJo merger/acquisition on the horizon, one has to wonder how much power Lucas Mattson will have.
