HBO he has not wanted to wait any longer. On October 18, season 3 of ‘Succession’ premiered and today its renewal for one more year has been announced. The series created by Jesse Armstrong, one of the most acclaimed productions in the HBO Max catalog, will have season 4.
The news comes accompanied by statements from Francesca Orsi, HBO Executive Vice President of Programming: “With each season of Succession, Jesse Armstrong has continued to exceed our wildest expectations, drawing us closer to the most intimate sanctuary of the Roy family with indelible wit, humanity and precision. This season is certainly no exception, and we couldn’t be more excited for everything that awaits us in the upcoming season.“.
The platform’s biggest success since the arrival of HBO Max
‘Succession’ explores themes of power and family dynamics. The tension increases when the business battle threatens to cause a real civil war in the Roy family … The cast of the series is led by Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen , Peter Friedman, Hiam Abbass and Fisher Stevens, among others, to which we must add stars in supporting roles, such as Alexander Skarsgård, Adrien Brody or Hope Davis.
It’s no surprise that ‘Succession’ has been revamped, it’s about one of the most powerful original series today, to the point of being considered the best successor to ‘Game of Thrones’ for HBO. According to the company, the premiere of the third season added 1.4 million viewers on all platforms, the best figure within its original series since the launch of HBO Max.
To this must be added the enthusiastic reviews (such as that of my partner Mikel) and the awards that the series is accumulating: the second season of ‘Succession’ swept the Emmy Awards with a total of seven statuettes, including best series, direction and actor (Jeremy Strong) in the drama category. Among the names of its producers are Will ferrell and its director in five comedies, Adam McKay (now less focused on humor).
