There\u2019s just a few weeks to go until Succession<\/a> returns with its long-awaited third season and, while fans can\u2019t wait to see the dysfunctional Roy family once again, they won\u2019t be too pleased to hear that the end could be in sight.<\/p>\n

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has spoken about ending the satirical drama starring Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook, revealing that he doesn\u2019t want the show to \u201cgo on too long\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The New Statesman<\/a> ahead of series three\u2019s release, the Peep Show<\/a> writer said: \u201cThere\u2019s going to be\u00a0a very definite moment when that story is over.<\/p>

\u201cAnd it can\u2019t go on too long. I think there\u2019ll be an end for me in this incarnation of the show in\u2026 in a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, executive producer Georgia Pritchett said that Armstrong has an idea of when Succession will end<\/a>, adding: \u201cI think the maximum would be five seasons, but possibly more like four.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re at the end of filming season three, so at this point [Armstrong] is saying only one more,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Emmy and BAFTA-winning hit centres around the wealthy Roy family, the owners of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar Royco, and their battle to assume control of the company after ageing patriarch Logan (Brian Cox) eventually steps down.<\/p>\n

Series three is set to pick up from where the second season\u2019s finale left off, with Logan and his son Kendall (Jeremy Strong) feuding after Kendall implicated his father in the company\u2019s series of scandals involving their cruise lines.<\/p>\n
