Succession season 3 gets a synopsis, release window

It’s Kendall Roy vs everyone else in the third season of Succession on HBO, which finally has a synopsis and an official release window.

The disgustingly wealthy, debilitatingly dysfunctional Roy family is coming back to HBO in the third season of Succession, and I am beyond ready. This often hilarious drama about a super-rich group of game-playing egotists has become one of HBO’s flagship series, even winning an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series the last time it was on. To me, Succession is the real successor to Game of Thrones; it’s like that show if it were set in the modern day and was only about the Lannisters.

HBO already dropped a teaser trailer for season 3. Now it’s given us a synopsis:

"Ambushed by his rebellious son Kendall at the end of Season 2, Logan Roy begins Season 3 in a perilous position. Scrambling to secure familial, political, and financial alliances, tensions rise as a bitter corporate battle threatens to turn into a family civil war."

Jeremy Strong won an Emmy for his performance as Kendall Roy, beating out Brian Cox, who plays his dad Logan. The rest of the cast is excellent too, but it feels very much in keeping with the show that they don’t share top honors: in this family, there can be only one winner.

HBO further whetted our appetite with a picture of Logan high in his ivory tower, thinking his malicious thoughts:

You heard the tweet: Succession season 3 premieres on HBO (and on HBO Max) in October!
