Succession season three: Release date, cast and season two recap – The Sun

SUCCESSION is the Emmy-award-winning HBO drama that has viewers across the globe gripped by the power struggles of the Roy family as they battle for their father's empire.

The second season came to a surprising end, and viewers cannot wait to see the captivating story continue.

When will Succession season three be released?

Succession's third season premiered October 17, 2021, two years after the season finale of season 2.

After lockdown began in March, HBO announced that filming for the new series had been suspended indefinitely.

They said in a statement: “We are looking forward to resuming pre-production when it is safe and healthy for everyone working on our shows to do so. Where possible, our writers are continuing to write remotely.”

HBO let fans know about the show's premiere after they tweeted a new season 3 poster of the Roy family, with Brian Cox's Logan and Jeremy Strong's Kendall staring each other down.

What will happen in Succession season three?

Explaining what fans can expect from Succession's new season, Brian Cox told The Daily Beast: "There are a lot of things to be explored in season three.

"The succession itself is still to be explored; how to keep Waystar together and stop it from going under; how to stop the proxy battle and company takeover. Roman has suddenly risen, and will emerge quite strongly I think."

He revealed he's also the only cast member who knows what the new season will bring.

He said: "I nearly fell off my chair because [creator Jesse Armstrong] never tells you about the next series.

"We never knew from episode to episode what was going to happen,

"It's jolly thrilling. That's all I can say."

Fans have also begun speculating how season three will unfold after an explosive trailer for the show aired.

What happened in Succession season two?

Set on a superyacht, the finale saw the family turn on each other as they tried to decide who should be sacrificed to save the company.

Logan's son Kendall finally betrayed him in front of the TV cameras, while his father watched him on television, a hint of a smile acknowledging – ironically – that he had finally become "the killer" media man Logan never thought he could be.

Naturally, fans are already eager to see how Kendall's words affect the family business.

As well the effect on his siblings, Shiv, Connor, and Roman, who had just been made COO of the company before he dropped his bombshell.
