A quick look at Succession plot and cast

The story of Succession centers around the Logan family, whose patriarch, Logan Roy, owns a large media conglomerate. His children are desperately looking to climb the ladder in the company in a devastating and ugly quest to gain power.

Here's HBO's synopsis for the series' upcoming fourth season:

''The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) moves ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.''

Brian Cox's stunning performance in the lead role as Logan Roy is one of the strongest points of the show. Cox perfectly captures his character's ruthlessness and flaws with astonishing ease. Viewers will be familiar with Cox from Spike Lee's 25th Hour, Manhunter, Rob Roy, and many more.

The ensemble cast also includes several other highly talented actors like Sarah Snook as Siobhan Roy, Kiera Culkin as Roman Roy, Jeremy Strong as Kendall Roy, Nicholas Braun as Greg Hirsch, among many others. Critics have praised the show's distinctly humorous and dark tone, apart from its performances, thematic depth, and characterization, among other things.
