Everything we know about the fourth season of Succession
Yes, stockholders of Waystar Royco: Season 4 of Succession is coming. Finally, we can’t wait to see how the Roy siblings get out of this predicament after the events of Succession season 3. There will, of course, be spoilers for the season 3 conclusion of Succession below!
During the third season of Succession, rumours of a fourth season began to circulate. The fourth season of the Roy family drama was revealed by HBO on October 26, between episodes 2 and 3. The season three premiere of [Succession] garnered over 1.4 million viewers across all platforms, establishing a series high and the highest premiere night of any HBO Original series since the introduction of HBO Max,” according to a press statement from parent company WarnerMedia.
This time period begins on May 27, 2020, so it’s not a very lengthy one, but it contains His Dark Materials, Perry Mason, The Nevers, How To with John Wilson season 1, The White Lotus, and potentially both of the Euphoria short films.
Speculation about the release date of the fourth season of Succession
GQ UK spoke with Brian Cox, who stated that production would begin in June of 2022. This date has been reaffirmed by Alan Ruck, who spoke to Variety. So, what can we infer from this information?
For the sake of comparison, let’s take a look at season 2’s production timeline, which started in the autumn of 2020, aired on October 17, 2021, and was plagued with Covid-19-related delays.
There have been rumblings of production commencing as early as March 2019 since the second season was officially announced on June 11th, 2018. Then, on August 11, 2019, it launched.
Season 4 of Succession might arrive as early as December 2022 or January 2023, based on this estimate. It’s a certain that HBO and HBO Max will air it (one of our picks for the best streaming services).

Suspicions about the potential cast of Succession season 4
That much is certain following the show’s conclusion: Jeremy Strong will return as Kendall Roy. We found out that the season 3 episode 8 finale was simply a prologue to Ken’s near-death experience when he was discovered face down in the pool after the credits rolled. A mention to BoJack Horseman, whose writers he had requested for his Twitter account earlier in the season, was also included in the message.
Nicholas Braun as Gregory Hirsch, Matthew Macfadyen for Tom Wambsgans, and J. Smith-Cameron for Gerri Kellman are all expected to return. As GoJo owner/tech mogul Lukas Mattson, Alexander Skarsgrd is expected to return. If the acquisition/merger goes through, he may have even more influence than before. Justin Kirk portrays Jeryd Mencken, a conservative politician.
There’s a lot of curiosity about the fourth season of Succession.
As we saw in the finale, Logan and their mother Caroline Collingwood have been working behind their backs to remove the siblings from the decision-making process. And it seems that Tom, the ever-sneaky spy, was the one who leaked the information to the parents.
We don’t know how long Gerri will serve as interim CEO of Waystar Royco.
With Shiv, Roman, and Ken now fighting Logan, the season 4 plot of Succession will likely be similar to season 3’s.
As the GoJo merger/acquisition nears, it will be interesting to see how much control Lukas Mattson will have at that point in time.
