What can possibly succeed “Succession”? HBO and HBO Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys revealed that the fourth and final season of the Emmy-winning drama was unexpected. Creator Jesse Armstrong announced in February 2023 that the show would conclude after this upcoming season, premiering March 26. “I would have taken more, but generally speaking, that is the kind of thing you want to leave to a creator,” Bloys said during a panel discussion at Series Mania (via Variety).
