Succession Season 3

The Roys, proprietors of media and entertainment giant Waystar RoyCo, focus on HBO’s power-packed satirical comedy-drama “Succession,” created by Jesse Armstrong.

When Logan Roy, the patriarch and CEO of the company, suffers a hemorrhagic stroke, his four children compete for his position as the company’s heir.

Logan survives the stroke and rejects the squabbles over his company’s status, declaring that his children must wait for more.

Disgusted, the four heirs engage in a variety of activities and blunders, all of which pose a threat to the corporation.

The third season of ‘Succession,’ named ‘Secession,’ will open with Kendall’s explosive press conference against his father, Logan Roy.

Logan will have to deal with the issue of maintaining his economic and political stronghold while Kendall reveals his father’s involvement in the disputed crimes and ensuing settlements.

Kendall, who has violated the firm’s secrecy, will suffer sanctions from his father, but Greg, who is plotting his own path to the top of the corporation, will pick his pals.

Kendall will hustle to find supporters and positions to plan his life forward following the press presentation after putting the company in peril.

Logan will have to be cautious with his illegal finances now that the transaction with Eduard has been completed because the press is on his tail.
