Succession - Season 4

Official trailer for the new season starting on March 26th.

Hugely excited by this, interested to see where the siblings go from the devastation of the season 3 finale.

Wambsgans looks to have a pivotal role, so very much looking forward to see how hard Logan will fuck him at some point in the series.

Connors wedding has the potential to be a comedic goldmine as well.

Hell yeah.

Given that each series so far has involved one of the Roy siblings seemingly getting into pole position then fucking it up, I guess the plan is that it's WAMBSGANS turn this time out. And I wonder if the fact that the whole "Tom's going to prison" sideplot last time round ended up being brushed off with Tom in the ascendancy might mean he's going to get a very very nasty comeuppance in the end, worse than he'd ever imagined?

On the other hand, I think (and I'm sure you all agree!) that the rise-and-fall structure is probably played out now and the plot needs to go in a different direction. As long as there is plenty of Tom 'n Greg dialogue and a deeper delve into the day-to-day life of Connor Roy, I'm happy.

I'm really hoping that the 'Connor running for president' storyline gets featured more. Could be some interesting potential friction with the far-right guy that Logan is backing.

Yes bring it on

[TrenterPercenter]

The best TV show of the last decade.  Already started rewatching it from the beginning in preparation for season 4.

Latecomer to Succession and we binged all three seasons last year.

This year has to have a different format, but I do think it might be the last. Nothing wrong with that if it's all planned. The trailer does make it look as sharp as always.

Felt like it was getting very stale last season and it'd really need to be looking at wrapping up by season 5 but my hunch is that they're thinking about a sixth or maybe even seventh season.

Reckon there's a 50/50 chance of this being the season I totally lose interest.

[backdrifter]

Interesting, I thought s3 was on fire.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

thought season 3 was great

Spoiler alert

Just looked on IMDB. One of the new characters is "Connor's Campaign Manager". YESSSSSSS!

It probably would if Armando Iannucci was the writer.

Stranger things have happened of course.

The book already exists.

Previously, Armstrong has said that the show will end sooner rather than later and said that there's only so much you can do with it.

After season 3, he wouldn't comment if the next one would be the last but from interviews, my feeling was there was a very good chance it was or that there might be two at most.

Hee, thanks for posting that.

Jezza Strong's reply:

"Everyone's entitled to have their feelings. I also think Brian Cox, for example, he's earned the right to say whatever the fuck he wants. There was no need to address that or do damage control.... I feel a lot of love for my siblings and my father on the show."

"I'm not your father, Jeremy. Now fuck off."

[Blue Jam]

...and for £572 Brian Cox will tell YOU to fuck off:

He did come out in support of JK Rowling recently though, so I have to be #TeamKendall here just on principle. 

Mixed feeling about it ending. I think it's probably for the best, even if part of me wants it to go on forever. I trust them to stick the landing and I'm expecting a great final season.

I think that was more on general principle though, and potentially misguided and being ill-informed about the specifics, rather than being team TERF

[selectivememory]

Yeah, I think there are a lot of older people who take that line. Not gonna let it spoil my enjoyment of his work.

Anyway, sorry for bringing it up, no need for this to become another one of those threads.

Cox, who plays patriarch Logan Roy on HBO's Succession, recently appeared on the BBC talk program Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg. During the interview, the Scottish actor described himself as "very proud" that the country's Parliament last month voted to approve legislation allowing transgender people to change their legal gender without requiring any medical diagnosis.

Yeah, he's no Glinner.

Better to have a proper planned ending than to sputter out over three or four more seasons. But there is a very slight possibility of a different show in the same universe. From an interview with Jesse Armstrong.

I do think that this succession story that we were telling is complete. This is the muscular season to exhaust all our reserves of interest, and I think there's some pain in all these characters that's really strong. But the feeling that there could be something else in an allied world, or allied characters, or some of the same characters—that's also strong in me. I have caveated the end of the show, when I've talked to some of my collaborators, like: Maybe there's another part of this world we could come back to, if there was an appetite? Maybe there's something else that could be done, that harnessed what's been good about the way we've worked on this. So that is another true feeling.

President Connor?

Does sound like they are considering doing a BCS type job, dunno whether that would be as a prequel or not.
