Date Set: When Does Succession Season 3 Start?

What Is Succession About?

The Roy family is known for controlling the biggest media and entertainment company in the world. However, their world changes when their father steps down from the company. Although he has no plans to step aside as the head of Waystar Royco, the international media conglomerate controlled by his family, aging patriarch Logan Roy is contemplating what the future holds. He has lingered in the limelight longer than even he thought he would, and now family members want to run the company as they see fit.
