Meanwhile, the fourth season of Succession has already begun filming following the release of the third last year.
The synopsis for the new episodes reads: âIn the 10-episode season four, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer. 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.
âA power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.â
Speaking recently about his role Logan Roy, star Brian Cox admitted that his character would âhateâ him in real life and find him âtiresome and boringâ.
