'Succession' Season 3 might be done and dusted, but the finale will be spoken about and the future speculated upon well until Season 4 arrives. The good news is, there is a fourth installment in the offing, but there's not much to go further from there. The HBO drama has been a hit with the audience ever since Season 1 premiered in June 2018 and the has a mileage of two more seasons with the latest focusing on the Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) vs Logan Roy (Brian Cox) battle. The son wants to take his father down and has been relentless throughout the season, but the last couple of episodes show he's tapering off.

The good news, Kendall survived and is now planning on hiring new lawyers and even doing a spread on Vanity Fair while planning to dump his five-year history on Instagram. Meanwhile, Roman (Kieran Culkin) is still battling his father after being caught for sending a picture of his d*** to Gerri (J. Cameron-Smith). The GoJo deal becomes one of the focal points as well.
