election that may have been swung to Mencken (Justin Kirk) with the help of the Roy’s cable network and a seemingly not-coincidental fire at a vote center in a swing state. WHO WON THE ELECTION?Īll of this is happening with the backdrop of an unsettled U.S. The biggest one of all is Greg, the cousin and fan favorite played by Nicholas Braun, known for his awkward quotes and verbal abuse he endures from Tom. There are a few wild cards that remain, in and outside the Roy family. Shiv, meanwhile is still trying to shepherd the GoJo deal with a plan she’s concocted that would install her as the company’s chief executive in the United States.Ĭonnor, after losing every state and endorsing Mencken, is instead planning for his hoped-for ambassadorship. Kendall appeared in the penultimate episode to be on track to follow in his father’s footsteps, delivering an impromptu eulogy at Logan’s funeral after Roman was too grief-stricken to do so.Īfter aligning himself with the far-right presidential candidate Jeryd Mencken - who the Roy’s network questionably declared the winner - Roman’s fortunes appeared to be falling and was seen fighting with protesters in the streets in the final scenes. The finale could live up to Logan’s statement in season 3 that life is “a fight for a knife in the mud.” Show creator Jesse Armstrong told The New Yorker earlier this year “there’s a promise in the title of ‘Succession,’” a sign that there’ll be some certainty at least on this question. Logan’s death and the power vacuum it created have led to renewed struggle among the siblings, with Kendall and Roman hoping to block the GoJo deal. The series’ most shocking twist came early this season, when Logan died on his way to close a deal with GoJo, a tech company. A fourth sibling - Connor, played by Alan Ruck - instead mounted an ill-fated run for president.īy the end of season three, the siblings had buried their differences enough to attempt a corporate coup of their father - only to be betrayed by Shiv’s husband Tom Wambsgans, played by Matthew Macfadyen. For most of the series, three siblings have been vying for the crown: Kendall, played by Jeremy Strong Roman, played by Kieran Culkin and Shiv, played by Sarah Snook.
