There’s light at the end of the tunnel for ‘Succession’ fans mourning its conclusion with season 4

News that Succession will end after Season 4 left fans of the hit HBO series reeling. However, one or more spin-off series might be in the cards.

Per ComicBook, writer Jesse Armstrong insinuated that the Emmy award-winning TV show will reach its conclusion at the end of the upcoming season. However, he also pointed out that the story of the Roy family might develop into one or more spin-off shows:

“I caveated the end of the show when I talked to some of my collaborators like Maybe there’s another part of this world we could come back to if there was an appetite?”

The decision to end one of HBO’s most popular TV shows came as a surprise to many. However, Armstrong believes it’s the right thing to do to maintain the integrity of the story without exhausting its allure.

Ending Succession was a tough choice, according to the Emmy Award winner. Nevertheless, he feels it was important to let audiences know what to expect to ensure they have the best experience of the last season of the series. 

The trailer for Season 4 indicates that tensions in the acquisitive Roy family have spiraled into open warfare between the notoriously corrupt patriarch Logan (Brian Cox) and his children, Kendall, Shiv, and Roman. At the heart of the conflict is the push to stop the sale of the family’s media empire, Waystar RoyCo. 

Armstrong expressed his satisfaction with Season 4. He is confident that it will explore all of the most critical aspects of the narrative in an audacious and robust way.

“I do think that this succession story that we were telling is complete. This is the muscular season to exhaust all our reserves of interest, and I think there’s some pain in all these characters that’s really strong.”

He reiterated that the characters were adaptable to other constellations in the context of new stories.

“But the feeling that there could be something else in an allied world, or allied characters, or some of the same characters-that’s also strong in me.”

Succession Season 4 premieres on HBO on March 26.
