How technology is central to the show’s most dramatic and pivotal moments – and how it might define its legacy.
Education, contacts and luck can play a considerable role when it comes to building up wealth.
Though we desire the Succession ending we want, we long for something that violently prevents us from getting it at the exact same time.
Composer Nicholas Britell festoons earnest Romantic music with sounds that gleefully desecrate it, underscoring the show’s emotional core: a lust for power joined by immense self-loathing.
In the end, nobody gets what they want – but they do, arguably, all get what they deserve.
Think about what story it is you want to tell about your loved one, how you want it to end and what you want your audience to take home.
From the first frame of the theme song, it is clear craft and imagination are deeply valued throughout the show’s entire soundtrack.
Hip hop’s swaggering braggadocio acts as a counterpoint to the Roy family’s rarefied worlds of high finance and plutocratic untouchability.
A new book, Unscripted, tells the incredible story of Sumner Redstone, the other model for Succession’s Logan Roy – and the epic succession journey of his daughter, Shari, now chair of ViacomCBS.
Unlike Logan, the Roy children appear to have a surface level perception of Scotland as Roman scoffs at “Scottish kicky-ball” and Kendall exclaims: “Dundee in the mother fucking house!”

The season opener expertly seeds the plot points that will unravel throughout the final series, culminating in the resolution of the core storyline: who will succeed Logan Roy as CEO?
Do the show’s fans secretly identify with the characters’ pursuit of power and pleasure?
During a two-decade period of English history known as the Anarchy, a woman sought to make the then-unprecedented move of ascending to the English throne.
