Though ‘Succession’ Season 3 isn’t over, fans are asking when Season 4 will air. Here’s what to know about the cast, trailer, and premiere date.<\/b>
\nAfter Season 3’s finale, there’s so much to unpack. It took almost two years for Succession Season 3 to arrive after the 2020 Hollywood shutdown caused filming delays for HBO\u2019s sleeper hit. With an international cast (Brian Cox and Matthew Macfadyen are U.K. residents; Sarah Snook is Australian) and a finale set in Italy, filming took a long time to get back underway. But now that Season 3 has come and gone, fans are asking when Succession Season 4 will be gracing these shores. After all, the deliciousness of the Roy family drama is enough for anyone to ask for more. Warning: Spoilers for Succession Season 3 follow. Succession Season 3 was a family feud, Team Kendall vs. Team Logan. Kendall went after his father, believing if he could convince his siblings to take his side, he\u2019d win. It took the entire season to get there, but Kendall finally got both Roman and Shiv to his side. But as the three Roy siblings drove to where Logan set up camp, ready to stage a coup to stop their father from selling Waystar to GoJo, they made one fatal flaw. They didn\u2019t keep the coup a secret. Instead, Shiv told the plans to Tom, who went full Red Wedding and betrayed them. Logan moved fast, changing the paperwork to take the three children out of their power positions as company shareholders. Then he directed his team to sell the company, putting the plan in motion before any of them could stop it. Fans came into the Season 3 finale expecting a demise, assuming it would be Kendall\u2019s. Instead, Kendall is alive, and Waystar RoyCo is dead. And the battlefield for Season 4 is now utterly upended. Season 3 will not be Succession\u2019s swan song. On Oct.26,2021, HBO confirmed the show will return for another season. That said, this is not a fight that can go on forever. It\u2019s tough to know how many more seasons of Succession there will be. Showrunner Jesse Armstrong has already suggested there will only be one more. Speaking to The New Statesman before the Season 3 premiere, Armstrong said, \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a very definite moment when that story is over. It can\u2019t go on too long.\u201d Actor Brian Cox agreed, though he said he sees a possibility of two more seasons. In an interview with British GQ, he said, \u201cI would say possibly two more, and then I think we\u2019re done. But it just depends and may just be only one more. It depends [on] what the writers feel. I know they\u2019ve got an endgame.\u201d With Waystar RoyCo no longer in the hands of the family, it seems like that endgame has already begun. Despite fan suspicions, the series did not off any of those competing to take over Waystar. (They may be fighting for a metaphorical Iron Throne, but there’s no trial by combat here.) Fans can be secure in the knowledge that another season will mean the return of the full Roy family roster. That starts with Brian Cox as patriarch Logan Roy, Hiam Abbass as his third wife, Marcia, and Zo\u00eb Winters as his current mistress, Kerry. Harriet Walter will probably also get another guest star turn as his second wife, Lady Caroline Collingwood, and Pip Torrens as her new husband, Peter. All four children should be back as well, including Alan Ruck as oldest son Connor with Justine Lupe as his now-fianc\u00e9e, Willa; Jeremy Strong as the once-heir apparent Kendall, with Natalie Gold as his ex-wife, Rava. Kieran Culkin is expected to return as youngest son Roman and J. Smith-Cameron as the woman who refused him in his hour of need, Gerri. Plus, there\u2019s Sarah Snook as Siobhan «Shiv» Roy and Matthew Macfadyen as her husband, Tom Wambsgans. Tom\u2019s shivving of Shiv at the end of Season 3 is bound to be a huge plot point going into Season 4, as she struggles with the knowledge that marrying a man so obviously beneath her didn\u2019t preclude a betrayal after all. Nicholas Braun is expected to return as Cousin Greg, Tom\u2019s new right-hand man \u2014 and biggest Achilles heel. Whether or not Dasha Nekrasova will return as Greg\u2019s possible girlfriend, Comfry, remains to be seen. With the sale of the company, it remains to be seen whether Peter Friedman will return as COO and fixer Frank Vernon. But Alexander Skarsga\u030ard, as the soon-to-be new owner of the company, seems like a lock to return. Although Succession Season 4 has been confirmed, there\u2019s no trailer yet for the new season. In years past, the first footage of new seasons has arrived with the \u201cComing in the new year\u201d teaser HBO puts out at the end of December, but with Season 3 starting so late in the fall, it seems more likely fans won\u2019t see a teaser with footage until at least spring 2022. But the Season 3 finale did come with a featurette discussion of the events of the final episode and how it changes the game going forward. There\u2019s no release date yet, but fans will hopefully not have to wait nearly two years again before seeing the Roys back on their screens. With filming now back on track for all HBO series, Succession Season 4 will most likely arrive in mid- to late-2022. This article was originally published on 10.26.21<\/p>\n
