Succession, Season 1
New No. 1 on the iTunes Top TV Seasons chart: Succession, Season 1 by Succession.
Succession is an American satirical black comedy-drama television series created by Jesse Armstrong. The series premiered on June 3, 2018, on HBO. The show centers on the Roy family, the owners of Waystar RoyCo, a global media and entertainment conglomerate, who are fighting for control of the company amid uncertainty about the health of the family's patriarch, Logan Roy. The first season of the show has ten episodes.
In season 1, the head of one of the world's largest media and entertainment conglomerates decides to retire, and each of his four grown children follows a personal agenda that doesn't always sync with those of their siblings or their father. The season characterizes itself as a satirical drama that waffles between genres to subtly reference the perils of generational wealth and a voracious appetite for power. The central focus of the season becomes the power vacuum that leaves a gaping hole after the father’s stroke, and the four Roy children struggle to keep control of the company as personalities clash and the tantalizing idea of power causes a rift between them.
Succession has received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, acting, musical score, production values, and examination of its subject matter. The series has been renewed for a fourth and final season, which is set to premiere on March 26, 2023.
