What to know
Succession is ending with season 4… HBO’s hit family drama (that’s really a comedy) will “f*** off” after its upcoming fourth season. While I’m sure HBO would have loved to see it run indefinitely, creator Jesse Armstrong explained that there was always an endpoint baked into the title. Someone has to become the successor. And isn’t it better to be left wanting more? No one wants a 7-season drama that’s spinning its wheels at the end. Notably, Armstrong is considering spinning off certain characters. As far as the Emmys go, when you pair Succession ending with White Lotus now competing as a drama, it all but ensures that Better Call Saul won’t take home many wins this September. 🧢
