Waystar/Royco and the Roy family will continue their awful ways as HBO has officially ordered Succession season 3. HBO made the announcement from its Medium PR account.
The Succession season 3 renewal came quite early for an HBO property, with HBO announcing the renewal as Succession season 2 was airing. Clearly, HBO likes what it sees from Succession‘s viewership numbers, not to mention the conversation it’s been able to drive on social media. The official HBO account didn’t have to dig deep for a Succession season 3 excitement meme.
Never change, Greg the egg.
“We are elated that Succession and its exploration of wealth, power and family has resonated so powerfully with audiences,” Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Drama Programming, said in a statement. “We cannot wait to see how the complex characters that Jesse Armstrong has created continue to navigate this captivating, ruthless world of the uber-rich. In today’s world where the intersection of politics and media is increasingly prevalent, Succession presents an especially piercing look behind the curtain of this elite, influential, and cutthroat community.”

Succession was created by Jesse Armstrong (In the Loop) and is produced by Armstrong, Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Frank Rich, Kevin Messick, Jane Tranter, Mark Mylod, Tony Roche and Scott Ferguson. After a slow start to its first season, it has become a much buzzed about comedy-drama hybrid about a uniquely hateable, yet also kind of likeable rich family.
Succession Season 3 Cast
Expect the full Roy family to return in Succession season 3. That includes Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Connor (Alan Ruck), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin). There are also plenty of corporate hangers on at Waystar/Royco like Gerri (J. Smith-Cameron) and Karl (David Rasche). Surprisingly, everyone came out of the Succession season 3 finale ok so it should be a full cast for season 3. Plus, there is always an opportuntity for guest actors to join like Holly Hunter did in season 2.
Succession Season 3 Release Date
There is no word on a Succession season 3 release date yet. For two seasons, it has been a major part of HBO’s summer plans.
