The Roy household’s energy wrestle is coming to an finish ahead of we thought: Succession will finish with its upcoming fourth season at HBO, collection creator Jesse Armstrong tells The New Yorker. (TVLine has confirmed the information with an HBO supply.)
“You know, there’s a promise in the title of Succession,” Armstrong says in an interview titled “The End of Succession Is Near.” (*4*)
He remembers assembly along with his writing workers previous to Season 4, “and I sort of said, ‘Look, I think this maybe should be it. But what do you think?’ And we played out various scenarios: We could do a couple of short seasons, or two more seasons. Or we could go on for ages and turn the show into something rather different, and be a more rangy, freewheeling kind of fun show, where there would be good weeks and bad weeks. Or we could do something a bit more muscular and complete, and go out sort of strong. And that was definitely always my preference.”
Armstrong provides that after he made the choice to finish the present, he didn’t wish to wait to disclose it till after the ultimate season had aired: “We don’t hide the ball very much on the show. I feel a responsibility to the viewership, and I personally wouldn’t like the feeling of, ‘Oh, that’s it, guys. That was the end.’ I wouldn’t like that in a show. I think I would like to know it is coming to an end.”
TVLine has reached out to HBO for remark. Succession — which facilities on the uber-wealthy Roy household and their savage battle for management of patriarch Logan Roy’s sprawling media empire — debuted in 2018 and has gained two Emmys for finest drama collection. Season 4 is ready to premiere Sunday, March 26.
