Although he has no plans to step aside as the head of Waystar Royco, the international media conglomerate controlled by his family, aging patriarch Logan Roy is contemplating what the future holds. He has lingered in the limelight longer than even he thought he would, and now family members want to run the company as they see fit. Despite a best-laid succession plan, tempers flare over Logan's intentions. Kendall Roy, Logan's eldest son from his second marriage and a division president at the firm, is the heir apparent. As Kendall attempts to solidify his eventual takeover, he and the three other Roy children face a difficult choice as company control and family loyalties collide.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As compulsively watchable as ever, Succession's final season concludes the saga of the backbiting Roy family on a typically brilliant -- and colorfully profane -- high note.

Richard Ferguson The Australian Let’s hope there’s more shows like Succession to keep us satisfied through to the end of an already stellar year in TV. Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker Real-life drama has supercharged the HBO show’s final season, making its satire feel even more delightfully loaded... May 11, 2023 Full Review Camilla Long Times (UK) One of the great troubles of this show is its repetitive, monomaniacal storyline: it worries again and again about who might replace him rather than why. Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Tanzim Pardiwalla Filmfare The main cast including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin and Alan Ruck returned for a satisfying finale that left fans reeling for months after it was over. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Along with The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad, Succession will surely become part of the handful of titles that are indispensable in understanding the richness, depth, and dimension of the universe...

Myles H Succession masquerades as profound commentary on power and family by dressing up soap opera dynamics in expensive suits and literary references. The show invites viewers to feel intellectually superior while watching terrible people be terrible to each other—without offering any genuine insight beyond 'the ultra-wealthy are miserable too.' It's emotional pornography for the NPR crowd: the pleasure of watching privileged people suffer, packaged with enough prestige markers that audiences can pretend they're engaging with something meaningful rather than simply indulging in schadenfreude. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review T E Every character has bared themselves naked showing who they really are. Brutal. High production value. The locations are breathtaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Z Y Very, very good—every character was depicted so brilliantly. Although a major event at the beginning of the season initially worried me, as I feared the show might turn bland, it ultimately did not affect the quality of the story at all. The ending may seem unexpected, but it was completely justified—a rare, brilliant conclusion that, unlike many other shows, never ruined the overall impact. On the business side, however, there were still some issues. For example, Mattson's ultimate move being leaked felt a bit forced. In reality, he could have kept the person in the position for a few months and then found some random reason to fire them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Audience Member This last season told you how bad they wanted to end it. The death of one of the most powerful characters was very nonchalant. The ending was illogical and the characters acted against their nature. Soooo much left in the table. Anyway, once again HBO is allowing great shows to end weak. After GOT, nothing has been the same. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review džEJMS b what to say, I was excited before I started watching, considering all the positive reviews the series received. after 5 episodes I was disappointed. the characters are fantastically characterized. their greed, hunger for power, influence, their narcissism, psychopathy, dependence on a deranged father, incompetence and spoiledness... I don't need to mention that the acting is superb. however, you get to know all these characters and their characteristics already after the first three episodes, and the series has 39 of them. What happens in the other 36? if you ask me, nothing. the story revolves always around the same. greedy and narcissistic children are fighting for the position of director, i.e. the successor of their father. and they are doing that for 39 episodes. in each one and the same. nothing original, everything could be told in 10 episodes. one more thing disappointed me, and that is the structure of the episodes. namely, every but every episode is structured in such a way that all the characters are in the same place at the same time; at a funeral, at a party, at a wedding, on a boat... it's cool to see what trash people can be, but in my opinion there is no originality or uniqueness Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Matis E The final season proves once again that this show is one of the greatest. Great acting, dialogues and story. Watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
