Billionaire family dysfunction is back. Succession season 3 recently dropped its first teaser trailer, which sees Logan Roy and son Kendall at each other’s throats in a fight over their family company. Entering the ring are several new Succession season 3 cast members, including Adrien Brody and Alexander Skarsgard. Bring on all the tall men!
Succession season 2 left off on a nail-biting cliffhanger with that aforementioned betrayal. And we’re expecting a lot more billionaire family dysfunction when the acclaimed show premieres on HBO and HBO Max.
Here is the Succession season 3’s official synopsis: “Ambushed by his rebellious son Kendall at the end of season two, Logan Roy begins season three in a perilous position. Scrambling to secure familial, political and financial alliances, tensions rise as a bitter corporate battle threatens to turn into a family civil war.”
Brody and Skarsgard aren’t the only new face on Succession season 3. Sanaa Lathan and Hope Davis are also on board. And in exciting behind-the-scenes news, Lorene Scafaria, the director of Hustlers, is helming episodes.
Here’s everything we know so far about Succession season 3.
Succession season 3 release date window
The Succession season 3 release date has a target window: Autumn 2021. That bit of news was revealed at the end of the teaser trailer.
Back in February, Casey Bloys, chief content officer at HBO and HBO Max, told Deadline that “in a normal world” he hoped to premiere Succession season 3 in Q4 2021.
Of course, this isn’t a normal world. Following pandemic-induced delays, film and TV productions are back in business, but many require more time due to the implementation of safety and health protocols.
“But that would mean we don’t get hit with any Covid delays,” Bloys said at the time. “A lot of that will depend on how the vaccine rolls out, how much a factor Covid is. It’s still very much a real thing in production at the moment, hopefully it gets easier to deal with. It’s hard to predict right now.”
But if all goes well, we may see Succession season 3 in October or November.
Succession season 3 filming and set photos
Succession season 3 began filming in fall 2020 New York. A fan snapped a set photo of Jeremy Strong in a brown tracksuit in Brooklyn:
Nicholas Braun, aka Cousin Greg, shared a photo on Instagram of himself wearing a slick suit and standing in front of a Waystar RoyCo sign. And the caption says Greg is still an employee — despite being part of Kendall’s betrayal of Logan.
Succession season 3 cast
The cast of Succession season 3 is a true ensemble, but it’s anchored by the Roy family:
Brian Cox as Logan Roy, the billionaire founder of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo.

Kieran Culkin as Roman Roy, Logan’s third and youngest son of Logan Roy, who vies with Kendall for power and influence.
Sarah Snook as Siobhan “Shiv” Roy, Logan’s youngest child and only daughter. She was a political fixer and is angling for her share of power at Waystar.

Season 3 will introduce some new faces to Succession, including Alexander Skarsgard. Alexander Skarsgard, who broke out on HBO’s True Blood and won an Emmy for Big Little Lies, returns to the network for a major role in Succession season 3. He most recently starred in Godzilla vs Kong.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’ll play Lukas Matsson, a successful, confrontational tech founder and CEO. It’s unclear how he will interact with the Roy family, but our guess is that he syncs up with Kendall, who has always been interested in the tech sphere.
Sanaa Lathan is playing Lisa Arthur, a high-profile New York lawyer. Hope Davis is Sandi Furness, the daughter of Senator Furness.
Linda Emond is appearing as Michelle-Anne Vanderhoven, a senior White House aide, while Jihae Kim plays Berry Schneider, a leading public relations consultant.
Succession season 3’s Adrien Brody role
Yes, an Oscar winner is coming to Succession. Brody is playing Josh Aaronson, a billionaire activist investor who becomes pivotal in the battle for the ownership of Waystar.
As fans know, the season 2 finale set up the father of all feuds between Logan and his onetime-heir Kendall. But whose side will Brody be on? If our guess that Skarsgard’s character teams up with Kendall, then it’s likely Aaronson makes a pact with Logan.
What’s coming next on TV and streaming? So much goodness! This fall brings Grey’s Anatomy season 18, NCIS season 19 and
And prepare to say goodbye as some beloved series come to an end, including This Is Us season 6 and The Walking Dead season 11. But the cycle of TV life is bringing new shows like Wheel of Time, The Book of Boba Fett and Lord of the Rings. Let’s not forget reboots and revivals, including Dexter season 9 and Sex and the City: And Just Like That.
