It’s time to get excited because the official description for Succession season four has just been revealed. And thanks to Deadline, we now know the fourth season will consist of ten episodes.
The description reads: “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. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.”

Back in June 2022, HBO shared that the cast and crew started filming the new season on social media. The update showed a picture of the director’s clapboard, with the number “401” (short for season four, episode one) written on the side. As for the caption, it read, “Production on Succession Season 4 has begun.”

If you need a refresher, Succession revolves around Logan Roy, the head of the largest media conglomerate in the world. When his children learn of his impending retirement, they battle against each another to claim the top spot.
5. Is There a Trailer?

Now there is! HBO recently released the first official teaser trailer for Succession season four (and we are soooo excited). The teaser starts with Logan’s children—Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Connor (Alan Ruck)—trying to get in touch with their father, but to no avail.
It seems Logan has cut off communication with his children following (spoiler alert) their failed attempt to stop him from selling Waystar. “Ummmm, I’m afraid we’re gonna have to hear that voice,” Roman tells his father’s assistant on the phone.
Cue a montage of scenes featuring family meetings, decisions and—of course—betrayals. The short teaser ends by confirming season four will return to HBO on March 26.
Excuse us while we go watch the teaser for the fifth time today…
