How to watch and stream Succession in the UK – your guide to the show
Brian Cox stars as a media mogul in this genre mixing comedy-drama from Peep Show's Jesse Armstrong.
The winners at the 2024 Golden Globes have been announced, and it proved to be a big night for HBO's Succession following its fourth and final season.
Succession took home the most wins in the TV categories at the 81st annual ceremony, receiving the Golden Globe Award for best TV drama series, as well as three acting wins — for supporting actor Matthew Macfadyen and leads Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook.
“We decided this was the right time to end, and that was bittersweet,” series creator Jesse Armstrong said while accepting the award.
She continued: “Particularly for me, because I finally bought some shoes that are appropriate for awards duty, and I’m afraid I won’t get to wear them much longer. It is bittersweet, but things like this make it sweeter.”
Succession season 4 landed on HBO back in March 2023, launching the Roy family back on our screens as an all-out war unfolded between the clan.
Given that HBO is a US network, fans in the UK might be wondering where they can watch (or re-watch) Succession in the UK. Read on for everything you need to know.

What is Succession about?
The Roy family controls one of the biggest media companies in the world, but when their ageing patriarch, Logan (Brian Cox), steps back from the family business, his children begin competing to take his place.
Despite having some serious hang-ups and claims to the company that vary wildly in legitimacy, they all remain eager for greater power and ruthlessly attempt to strengthen their positions.
With this premise, Succession gives viewers an enticing inside look at a Murdoch-esque media empire, complete with scheming and back-stabbing, while effortlessly walking the tightrope between comedy and drama.

Succession cast
Brian Cox (Medici: Masters of Florence) plays family patriarch Logan Roy, who is forced to step back from the company he created due to age and health concerns.
His adult offspring include Jeremy Strong (The Gentlemen) as power-hungry Kendall, Sarah Snook (Steve Jobs) as political fixer Siobhan, Kieran Culkin (Fargo) as immature man-child Roman and Alan Ruck (The Exorcist) as distant eldest son Connor.
Matthew MacFadyen (Quiz) also stars as Siobhan's husband Tom, an executive at her father's media company, while Nicholas Braun (How to Be Single), J Smith-Cameron (Search Party) and Justine Lupe (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) round out the cast as extended family and friends.
And the Succession season 4 cast will see several new and familiar faces join the cast, those of which can be read in full.
How many seasons of Succession are there?
There are four seasons of Succession in total.
Armstrong confirmed that Succession will come to an end with season 4 back in February 2023, telling The New Yorker: "I got together with a few of my fellow writers before we started the writing of season 4, 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."
Where is Succession filmed?
Most of Succession’s filming locations are in New York, including Manhattan, Long Island and Brooklyn. Filming has also been conducted in New Mexico, New Jersey and even Eastnor Castle, in England.
