The episode ends with a half-asleep Logan tuning into ATN’s nightly chat show, the ageing king surveying the fiefdom.

'Succession' viewers react to “incredible” season premiere (NME.com)

'Succession' fans have shared their reactions to the fourth and final season's first episode following its premiere.

He added: “I had the last scene pretty early. “That’s how I pitched it to my writers’ room, kind of hoping I’d get argued out of it so we’d see a way to do more seasons, because I love working with these people. I wavered on what were the best lines, the best way to express it — but that ending from the first draft is the one you’ll see when the episode comes out.” Love the direction of the storyline already off the top. Sometimes you see a scene that is blocked and shot and lit so precisely that it hurts. I’m sick of her being snubbed as Supporting. She’s going to kill this season and deserves the push. I'll never get this frame out of my head. This scene is pure art. [March 27, 2023] I’ll never get this frame out of my head.” Elsewhere, Shiv and Tom are going through a trial separation following his betrayal of her in season three, and Shiv tells him that she wants a divorce.

Succession recap: What happened in season 4, episode 1 as Logan ... (iNews)

A birthday party, a new business venture and an accidental sex tape — the opening of Succession's final season has it all. With the sale of Waystar Royco ...

The episode ended with Logan sat in front of ATN in the small hours, complaining to Cyd about the “ballsack in a toupée” presenter. Stepping up to his battlestation, Logan threw “the Munsters” out of his house and called in the Waystar bigwigs for a strategy meeting. He knows she would be able to work out that it meant Logan was working on a Pierce acquisition. “What if we got married underneath the Statue of Liberty with a brass band?” He proposes to his wife-to-be. It also gave us a rare tender moment, when Shiv made it home and found a sleepy Tom wanting to discuss the status of their relationship. Ten days out from the presidential election and Connor was polling at a miserable one per cent. I have a feeling she might have decided then and there that her marriage was over — or was it simply another chess move on the board towards the acquisition? This was all happening just two days before Logan was to sell Waystar to GoJo, with the Fox News-esque ATN siphoned off to remain in the patriarch’s portfolio. Among New York’s shiny skyscrapers, Logan was celebrating his birthday with a group he unaffectionately referred to as The Munsters. The decision was made much to Roman’s disappointment — Kendall just wanted to get back at his dad and Shiv wanted to get her own back on her estranged husband Tom. Joined by his sister Shiv and brother Kendall, the trio were working on ideas for their new venture, The Hundred, and while they all seem to be on the same team (for now), there was still some lingering suspicions. It’s been just over a year since we were landed with the bombshell of Tom Wambsgan’s devastating betrayal of his wife which led to the failure of Shiv, Roman and Kendall’s attempt to scupper their father’s plan to sell Waystar Royco to entrepreneur and GoJo owner Lukas Matsson.

Succession Season 4: Jeremy Strong on Tragedy Ahead for Kendall ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Succession star Jeremy Strong warns about dark storms ahead for Kendall Roy in season 4 and why he advocated for his character's story to end.

I actually feel like, in the beginning of this season, Kendall is a bit in the back seat of the car, and happy to be in a band. There’s something about the allure of newspapers that he both wants to compete with his father and dominate his father, but he also wants to be in his father’s footsteps. This is a nice moment of connection with his brother and sister, and the moment in the river where things are sort of placid and calm… I went to my house directly from the airport, took a long walk, sat on the beach, watched Kendall go down with the sun, and said, “Adios.” But he’s still coming back from the ropes of what happened in Italy, and happy to be along for this ride with his brother and sister. Kendall is aware that he has a sort of bottomless hole inside of him that he needs to fill, that in the past, he’s filled with drug use and substance abuse. What was it like to tap into that moment of victory for the siblings? There’s a lot of room for it to spiral, but for now, it’s a solid position. He’s going to continue trying to fill it that way, which I see as a sort of tragedy. There’s very little left of him to put the crown on. They sort of do a fireman’s carry out of that scene, and it continues into the beginning of this next season, where he’s leaning on them. For his part, Strong loves the premiere’s subtle use of Kendall — especially since it’s not going to last for long as the final season chugs along.

'Succession' Season 4, Episode 1 Review: Rummage Sale (Forbes)

Succession returns with a crunchy peanut butter of a premiere for its fourth and final season as the Roys prepare to do battle one last time for the Waystar ...

Finally, we come to the last of the Roy children. So, in the midst of Logan’s furious dealings with his children, in the middle of a high-stakes acquisition bid, Greg fails to read the room once again and asks his uncle for a private chat. Some of the finest acting I’ve ever seen, and this in a show filled with brilliant, powerful performances. When Shiv says it’s time to move on from the marriage, all Tom can say is “uh huh.” He tried to talk to her about his feelings but she shut him down, as usual. Logan’s top security guy / bodyguard Colin (Scott Nicholson) informs Greg that he’ll need to search her on the way out and Greg decides he’ll just hang back rather than break the news to his date. Later, Tom approaches Greg to tell him he’s the laughing stock of the entire party for bringing such a grotesque plebe to the private affair. The show opened up on Logan’s 80th birthday, so it’s only fitting that now—three seasons and nearly five years later—we get to watch him grit his teeth at “Happy Birthday To You” being sung by “the monsters” as he calls his too-happy guests. They’re in the process of starting up a new media company called The Hundred which is, according to Kendall, “Substack meets masterclass meets the Economist meets The New Yorker.” It’s a “private members club but for everyone” and “an indispensable bespoke information hub” that offers “high-calorie info-snacks” with the “ethos of a nonprofit but the path to crazy margins.” And so The Hundred is dropped like one of Kendall’s girlfriends and off they rush to buy a dying legacy media brand. She’s walking away with a ridiculous amount of money and a punch to Logan’s kidney. They meet with Nan who is every bit as conniving and money-and-status-obsessed as the Roy family, but too concerned with her image to just admit it. Fast forward to the even of the final sale of Waystar RoyCo in the Season 4 premiere.

In the new trailer for Succession Season 4, the Roy family goes to war against the backdrop of a "historic, toxic" election.

Succession Season 4 Episode 1 is streaming on HBO and Sky now. Meanwhile, Lukas Matsson’s takeover of Waystar Royco is imminent and ATN is trying to give far-right fascist candidate Jeryd Mencken a fast-pass straight to the presidency.

At the same time that it's exciting to see Kendall, Roman, and Shiv back together, it's a bit sad to see an old dude alone on his birthday. Later on in the episode, Kendall, Roman, and Shiv outsmart their father in a bidding war for the acquisition of Pierce Global Media, a longstanding media company. In this first episode of Season 4, Logan is in a state of deep contemplation and emotion, perhaps more than we've ever seen from him in the past. At the end of the season, Kendall breaks down to Roman and Shiv, finally confessing to killing a waiter in the car accident during his sister's wedding. Roman and Shiv joined forces with their father after Kendall dropped a major bombshell about Logan at the end of Season 2, creating a stark divide between the siblings. Sure, holiday gatherings and impromptu yacht trips might physically unite the family for a moment, but it's never until war is declared on the Roys that they actually slam their skulls together and get to work.

Tom lost the deal Logan really didn't want to lose, his wife asked for a divorce in their devastating yet terribly communicated exchange, and Greg decided to break up their bromance by bringing his new girlfriend to Logan's birthday. Kerry is languishing near the bottom this week, but she's one of the closest people to Logan and can't be underestimated – until Logan decides he's done with her. But being in a trio means he'll continue to get outnumbered by Shiv and Kendall, which could lead him to go crawling back to his Dad.

Matthew MacFadyen Talks About the Final Season of 'Succession ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Succession star Matthew MacFadyen actor opens up about the final moments on set of the HBO show and his character Tom Wambsgans.

He views his career like the ocean, where the lulls of looking for the next right project are followed by the crest of a really good moment; the trick is to wait for the wave to come. “I love that they’re quite bloody-minded and gladiatorial in that we shoot a 10- or 12-page scene in one continuous take and then do that eight or nine times over,” he explains. “It started to feel like it was more definitive as we got closer to the end, and I trust Jesse and his team to decide how to go out on a high,” he says. “It was pretty brave and cool that he was willing to be the fall guy for the family, and [last season] when he sensed that Shiv [Sarah Snook] was disappointed that he got off the hook, and in fact maybe wanted him to go to jail, it was a death by a thousand cuts,” he explains. He didn’t have the chance to explain his reasons to Shiv, or to have the chance to tell her that there wasn’t anything he did that she wouldn’t have done. He says the cast “sort of knew the end might be coming” and that Armstrong had spoken to them to lay the groundwork for the end while still leaving room to change his mind. “It was sort of awful,” he says. [ breakdown of the show’s single successful marriage](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/succession-season-4-episode-1-shiv-tom-1235360644/); Macfadyen is most moved by his character’s attempts to process the abbreviated split. Despite his often outwardly cheery demeanor and constant quips (episode 401’s riff on Greg’s date’s handbag nearly rivals the great deck shoes castigation of 103), Tom hasn’t been a stranger to melancholy. “In a word, I thought it was great,” he says of the season-three [cliffhanger](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/succession-recap-season-4-premiere-1235353506/) that saw Tom cutting his wife out of her family’s company.

Inside the "Succession" Season 4 Premiere & Logan Roy's Bummer ... (Motion Picture Association)

It shouldn't be all that surprising that Logan Roy (Brian Cox) would be a dour birthday boy. Succession's fourth season premiere began with the big guy ...

Check out the “Inside the Episode” here: “Their manner of interrelating is harsh jokes,” creator Jesse Armstrong confirms in a new “Inside the Episode” featurette from HBO. The premiere pivots around the Roy kids’ realization that their father, only 48 hours from his company WayStar being bought by the tech behemoth GoJo, is about to purchase Pierce Media. “He wanted the party to happen. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, three of Logan’s kids are having a fine old time thousands of miles from Logan and his bummer birthday bash. “They’re so rare, those moments of unity, aren’t they?” says the episode’s director, Mark Mylod.

Their financing was “robust”, but they wouldn’t “take your properties and roll them in the dirt” like evil pater. When Shiv returned to their Broadway apartment to collect some clothes, she and Tom quietly agreed they had reached the end of the road. He tried to lighten the mood by getting his inner circle to give him a “roasting”, but, understandably, they were all too terrified. The contrast between the genteel Pierces, who pretend not to care about money, and the venal Roys, who care about little else, was beautifully portrayed once again. Not to be confused with the gimmicky cricket tournament, this was “a one-stop info shop for smart people”. “I feel like we’re in the middle of a bidding war,” said the pearl-clutching matriarch Nan Pierce (Cherry Jones). Before she was ejected, she and Greg found time for a fumble in a guest bedroom. How about marrying underneath the Statue of Liberty with a brass band and assorted hoopla? His sole confidantes were his “friend, assistant and adviser” Kerry (Zoe Winters) and his bodyguard, Colin (Scott Nicholson).

Tom and Greg's (ostensibly platonic) relationship is the most important and intimate one on the show as it enters its final days.

In true Succession fashion, the level of its celebratory fervour sits somewhere below ‘shareholder meeting’: today is merely a premise under which to gather the suits together and talk shop. And boy, do these people love to talk: the Roys and their entourage are plagued by a compulsive inability to speak about anything other than the next acquisition of a legacy media company. Empires are built and destroyed, elections are fixed and wars declared, and incomprehensibly vast sums of money are shuffled like cards, all because of the words passed between a few people in a room.

That Burberry Bag Was Perfect (The Cut)

'Succession''s season-four premiere undermined the Burberry empire in one swift monologue after Cousin Greg brought a random date and Tom and the other Roys ...

Well, it turns out Tom felt that Bridget’s “ludicrously capacious bag” (big bags are for us peasants; the rich don’t need to carry anything around, that’s what assistants are for) that she presumably filled with “flat shoes for the subway” (both orthopedic footwear and public, eco-friendly transportation are for us peasants) or “a lunch pail” (a mid-day meal, especially one brought from home, is also for us peasants) was so “monstrous … And for that reason, this sizable, conspicuous bag was the perfect choice for Greg’s date to tote — she, and maybe even by extension Greg, will never be one of them. That she was one of them — one of the elite. That she knew, and decided to ignore, the value of the dollar. Bridget’s bag, on the other hand, is immediately identifiable, which in turn makes it gauche, tacky, and completely undesirable to the one percent. Upon her arrival, a single up-and-down glance is enough to send Logan’s assistant into a one-percent tizzy, and she pulls Greg aside to let him know that this party, thrown in honor of one of the richest men in the world, was, in fact, not a “fucking Shake Shack.” Noted.

Succession season four: Fans spot a glaring editing fail in promo ... (Daily Mail)

A series of images for the show were released last week featuring the individual characters ahead of the season premiere on March 27.

Brian Cox, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun (right), Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong (left), Alan Ruck and Matthew Macfadyen stand in front of the reflective windows of a skyscraper alongside the tagline 'the final season' I think I would like to know it is coming to an end,' he clarified. I quite like that idea, creatively, because then the audience is just able to enjoy everything as it comes, without trying to figure things out, or perceiving things in a certain way once they know it’s the final season,' he added. I feel a responsibility to the viewership, and I personally wouldn't like the feeling of, "Oh, that's it, guys. That was the end."

The Best Memes & Reactions To 'Succession' Season 4 Episode 1 (ELLE Australia)

The first episode of 'Successions' final season delivered plenty of memorable moments, from Logan's roast to the roast of a Burberry bag. Here are the best ...

We leave the Roys a little better off from where we started: the kids strike a deal with the Pierces—or say the bigger number, as Logan reprimanded them for—Logan is hit with his first L, and Greg still seems in with the family despite being "rummaged to fruition" in a spare bedroom. [a "ludicrously capacious" Burberry bag](https://www.elle.com.au/fashion/designer-brands-27850)being dubbed as the laughing stock of high society because of its gargantuan size (and ability to fit flats for the subway)—and an equally culture-resetting roast of Logan. Kendall's dream of The Hundred having the "ethos of a non-profit but a path to crazy margins" are quickly dashed when the kids are in for a shot to stick it to their father. [Sarah Snook](https://www.marieclaire.com.au/sarah-snook-pregnancy)), and sexually deranged joker, Roman (Kieran Culkin)—team up to create the new media company, The Hundred. [cost of living crisis](https://www.elle.com.au/culture/relationship-costs-22721), if you don't speak TikTok), but there is something so satisfying about tuning in each week to see the elite upper echelon tear one another apart in their endless pursuit of power. From the birth of the disgusting brothers to the birth of a new age "substack meets Masterclass" media empire, Succession's fourth and final season indeed delivered everything we want from the satirical dramedy.

The Roys Won't Change, But 'Succession' Needs To (Collider.com)

In the first three seasons, we saw a series of attempts to stage coups and remove the surly and irascible patriarch, Logan Roy (Brian Cox), from the top spot at ...

We would love to see the terrific Matthew McFayden (Tom Wambsgans) take out his frustrations over his emasculation at the hands of his manipulative and calculating wife, Shiv, out on the Waystar head honcho. [the end of Season 3 we see them resort to an alliance](https://collider.com/succession-season-4-roys-working-together/) because none of them has shown the willingness or ability to really do what it would ultimately take to dethrone Pops Roy. [Logan is the logical pick not only because of his advanced age and health issues](https://collider.com/succesion-season-4-logan-roy-death/), but because his kids don't like him very much, and are getting tired of being played like pawns in the corporate games that Logan is so adept at. After all, he was very close to being ousted at the end of last season, and his physical and mental health have been compromised throughout the entirety of the show. We've established the fact that the Roy children have been saddled with certain trademarks that aren't going to change very much, so something is going to have to change the family dynamic rather dramatically to continue the arduous task of upping the ante of an already brilliantly devious and devilishly addictive show. Shiv (Sarah Snook) kind of goes whichever way the wind blows with her forays into politics followed by several cutthroat attempts for the keys to the kingdom
