"Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong announced that the upcoming third season of the hit HBO drama will be it's last. The show follows the Roy family, a wealthy media dynasty, as they navigate power struggles and familial conflicts.
Armstrong, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for the show's second season, stated that the decision to end the show was challenging but ultimately felt like the right choice for the story.
The show has been praised for its sharp writing, nuanced performances, and biting commentary on the ultra-wealthy and their impact on society. Its ensemble cast, including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, and Sarah Snook, has been widely acclaimed for their performances.
HBO programming president Casey Bloys praised Armstrong and the show, saying "Jesse Armstrong is a phenomenal storyteller and we look forward to seeing how he brings this chapter in the Roy family's journey to a close."
The third season of "Succession" is set to premiere later in 2021, with production delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No official release date has been announced yet.
