Episode one of Succession season 4 is now available to watch on Now TV, and we can't wait to devour it. One of the greatest TV shows ever made, the razor sharp drama about the power struggles of the the fictional Roy family is coming to an end with one last season.

What happened at the end of Succession season 3?

In the dramatic final scenes of season three Shiv teamed up with siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) to stop their megalomaniac father, Logan (Brian Cox), from selling the company, thereby ruining any chance for one of them to take over the reins. However, those plans are halted after an almighty betrayal. Shiv's husband, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen), whom she treated pretty badly throughout their relationship, tipped Logan off.

Is there a trailer for Succession Season 4?

Yes - there are now three trailers to dissect. And from what we can see tensions are higher than ever as the 'rebel alliance' Shiv, Kendall and Roman are finally on the same page as they go up against their father. Meanhwhile Shiv and Tom will have an intense showdown after he betrayed her in the season three finale.

Who will star in Succession Season 4?

When does Succession Season 4 air?

Succession season four finally has a UK release date of Monday, 27 March. The new season will premiere here on Sky Atlantic, and a day before (Sunday, 26 March)in the US on HBO. AVOID TWITTER ON SUNDAYS. Episodes will go out weekly: there are ten in total.

What have early reviews said about Succession Season 4?

The good news is the first reviews have been overwhelmingly positive: in a five-star review, Empire writes: 'Forget ‘boar on the floor’. Your jaw will be on the floor after watching this final season [...] it’s surely in contention to be counted among TV’s greatest achievements.'

Meanwhile Collider said: 'Succession Season 4 is telling a more cohesive story than ever before, with all the threads weaving together quite nicely. The result is a season that is even more engaging than its predecessors, leaving you hanging on every word of snappy dialogue.'

Will there be a Succession Season 5 and beyond?

While none of us will ever be ready for Succession to come to an end, sadly the show's creator confirmed that this season will be the show's last.

In an interview with The New Yorker, Jesse Armstrong revealed that he feels a 'responsibility to the viewership, and I personally wouldn’t like the feeling of, “Oh, that’s it, guys. That was the end.” I wouldn’t like that in a show. I think I would like to know it is coming to an end.' He then added: 'It’s pretty definitively the end.' We're as gutted as you are.
