Matthew Macfadyen's 'Succession' HBO series to end on its upcoming Season 4!
A bittersweet news for Matthew Macfadyen's award winning HBO series Succession. The good news is that, its upcoming Season 4 will premiere on March 26, but the bad news is the series will end right after Season 4. Thankfully, last year Matthew Macfadyen won his first Emmy Award for Succession! before the series ends. I guess it's better to end a hit show while it's still popular and its peak, rather than the show going downhill and ending when it's cancelled and no proper ending for the series.

Creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong revealed that the upcoming fourth season will indeed be its final run on the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed premium cable network, telling the New Yorker that “there’s a promise in the title of Succession. I’ve never thought this could go on forever. The end has always been kind of present in my mind. From season two, I’ve been trying to think: Is it the next one, or the one after that, or is it the one after that?”
“I got together with a few of my fellow writers before we started the writing of season four, in about November, December, 2021, and I sort of said, ‘Look, I think this maybe should be it. But what do you think?’ And we played out various scenarios: We could do a couple of short seasons, or two more seasons. Or we could go on for ages and turn the show into something rather different, and be a more rangy, freewheeling kind of fun show, where there would be good weeks and bad weeks. Or we could do something a bit more muscular and complete, and go out sort of strong. And that was definitely always my preference.”
Reps for HBO declined to comment outside of confirming the New Yorker story is accurate. Season four of Succession returns March 26 on HBO.
The news ends speculation on if Succession would sign off with either its fourth or fifth season, something Armstrong has teased since the satirical drama broke out as an awards season darling.
