The highly-anticipated third season of HBO’s Succession is finally here, with the Roy family at war in the series premiere, which aired in the US last night and is now available to be stream on NOW.
With Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong leading the stellar Succession cast, season three opens with the aftermath of Kendall’s explosive press conference, during which he claims his father knew about the sexual misconduct allegations made against Waystar Royco executives and actively covered them, resulting in a chaotic media circus.

What is Succession about?

The Roy family controls one of the biggest media companies in the world, but when their ageing patriarch, Logan (Brian Cox), steps back from the family business, his children begin competing to take his place.
Despite having some serious hang-ups and claims to the company that vary wildly in legitimacy, they all remain eager for greater power and ruthlessly attempt to strengthen their positions.
With this premise, Succession gives viewers an enticing inside look at a Murdoch-esque media empire, complete with scheming and back-stabbing, while effortlessly walking the tightrope between comedy and drama.
Succession cast
Brian Cox (Medici: Masters of Florence) plays family patriarch Logan Roy, who is forced to step back from the company he created due to age and health concerns.
His adult offspring include Jeremy Strong (The Gentlemen) as power-hungry Kendall, Sarah Snook (Steve Jobs) as political fixer Siobhan, Kieran Culkin (Fargo) as immature man-child Roman and Alan Ruck (The Exorcist) as distant eldest son Connor.
Matthew MacFadyen (Quiz) also stars as Siobhan’s husband Tom, an executive at her father’s media company, while Nicholas Braun (How to Be Single), J Smith-Cameron (Search Party) and Justine Lupe (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) round out the cast as extended family and friends.
And season three will see several new faces join the cast, including Alexander Skarsgård, Sanaa Lathan, Linda Emond, Jihae, Adrien Brody, and Hope Davis.
