Brian Cox (Troy) plays ageing kingpin Logan Roy, with Jeremy Strong (The Big Short) playing his son and the ‘heir with flair’ Kendall Roy.
Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv (Sarah Snook) play Kendall's younger siblings, while other stars include Hiam Abbass (playing Marcia Roy), Alan Ruck (as Connor Roy) and Natalie Gold (Rava Roy).
What’s it about?
With a storyline that wouldn't look out of place inside the Murdoch headquarters, Succession tracks the lives of the Roy family and the state of their empire as their father looks to step back due to his age.
Is no amount of money enough when you have too much to begin with? The ego power struggle for the reins of the family empire will go on until there is a victor – unless they bring the business to its knees and then what’s left to squabble over?
