The Roy family is coming back, and they are ready to go to war. Last night, HBO released the first trailer for Season 4 of the critically acclaimed comedy-dramaSuccession. The trailer features everything the fans can hope for from the upcoming season, a monologue fromBrian Cox’s Logan Roy, the Roy children finally teaming up, and everyone’s favorite Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun).
Successionpremiered in 2018 on HBO and quickly became a favorite of critics and audiences alike. The series follows the extremely powerful, and highly dysfunctional, Roy family as they all fight to keep or gain power in the family business Waystar RoyCo, a global media conglomerate.Successiontakes a satirical look at the upper class that is full of dark humor and compelling plot twists that keep fans coming back for more. It has also hooked its viewers with award-winning writing, directing, and acting that manages to get audiences to love and root for characters that are ultimately bad people. Season 3 ended on a huge cliffhanger with Logan deciding to sell Waystar RoyCo as his kids finally team up to try and stop him.
While the trailer is less than a minute long, it still manages to give fans everything they could want. Part of the draw of the show is Cox’s captivating performance as the Roy family patriarch. The trailer lets us know with a monologue that not only he is not going anywhere, but he is still the same egomaniacal billionaire fans love. The rest of the trailer shows quick clips that tease the Roy children forming a “rebel alliance” against their father, fan-favorite Cousin Greg celebrating, and much more.
