After three highly successful seasons, the award-winning HBO series “Succession” is coming to an end. Series creator Jesse Armstrong recently confirmed in an interview with the “New Yorker” that the finale of the fourth season will also be the definitive end of the series.

The series explores issues of power and family dynamics through the eyes of patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his four grown children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Siobhan (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Connor (Alan Rook). , as they navigate the difficult world of media and corporate politics in New York.

According to Armstrong, the decision to end the series came after much deliberation with the writing team. He said he always had the end in mind, but wasn’t sure when it would come. As they began writing the fourth season, Armstrong pitched several ideas to the writers, including ending the series after two more seasons or turning it into a looser, fun series that could go on for ages. However, he eventually decided to go “hard” with a more complete ending.

The decision to end the series was not an easy one, as Armstrong admitted he was nervous about it. The creator explained that he didn’t want to rule out the possibility of discovering new plot avenues or character dynamics that would require them to continue the story.

Despite the show’s popularity and critical acclaim, the third season’s ratings were down from the previous season. However, the success, the awards and the love of the audience cannot be disputed and the final season, which premieres on March 26, is expected to be the best yet.
