‘Succession’ Season 4 Begins Filming, First Details Revealed
HBO announced today that production has commenced on the fourth season of the Emmy-winning drama series Succession, in New York City. They have also released the first plot details from the new season and confirmed it will have ten episodes. This is the same episode count as the first two seasons, and one more episode than season three.
Here’s the logline for season 4, per HBO:
“In the ten-episode season four, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer. 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.”
Mark Mylod, who directed thirteen episodes of the first three seasons, is back directing the season 4 premiere, HBO confirmed. Mylod won an Emmy as an executive producer of Succession season 2, and was also nominated for directing the season 2 finale “This Is Not for Tears”.

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
