Succession season 4: Here’s what we know so far
(Pocket-lint) – Succession is returning. Season 4 is in production and we’ll finally find out what’s next for the Roy children. Last we saw, they were hoodwinked out of their Waystar RoyCo stock after attempting a coup.
But when will it air, is there a trailer, and what else can we expect from the latest season of one of the hottest shows around? Here’s what we know so far about Succession season 4.
Succession season 4 release date
- Season 4 premieres spring 2023
Succession was renewed for a fourth season late last year, but considering production only just started in June 2022, there’s a while to wait before it airs. The first teaser trailer, which was released in late October, revealed that it will begin in “spring 2023”.

Also excellent are the Google Chromecast with Google TV, the Roku Express 4K, the Apple TV 4K and the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
How many episodes are in Succession season 4?
It has been confirmed that there will be 10 episodes in Succession season 4 – just as with seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 is the only one to differ, having been truncated to nine episodes due to filming under pandemic guidelines.
What is expected to happen in Succession season 4?
HBO has released an official, brief synopsis of Succession season 4: “The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer,” it reveals. “The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed.
A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.”
Is there a trailer for Succession season 4?
A brief teaser trailer for the show was released online in October 2022. You can see it below.
How and where to catch-up on previous seasons of Succession?
There are a number of ways to catch-up with the first three seasons of Succession. Seasons 1, 2 and 3 are available on demand to HBO Max subscribers in the US, Sky and Now subscribers in the UK.
Alternatively, all three seasons can be purchased online through numerous digital video services, including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play TV & Movies. You can buy individual episodes or entire seasons. Also, if you’d prefer to own a physical disc, Succession season 1 is available on Blu-ray.
However, Seasons 2 and 3 never made it to BD disc release, although you can get all three bundled in a single DVD pack.

Will there be a season 5 of Succession?
It is too early to say whether a fifth season of Succession is planned. It hadn’t been confirmed at the time of writing. Star Brian Cox told The Times newspaper in September 2022 that he is also in the dark: “”I don’t know [if there will be a fifth season].
No one’s had their contracts renewed,” he explained. “Who knows how long it will go on? We don’t want it to overstay its welcome, like ‘Billions‘; that’s past its sell-by date.
That will not happen with our show.”
