Succession Season 3 Will Premiere In October

The hugely popular comedy-drama Succession returns in October. HBO confirmed on Twitter that Succession Season 3 will debut the month after next.

The specific premiere date has yet to be revealed--in fact, the tweet from the official Succession account contained nothing more than the word "October" and an image of Logan Roy, the fearsome Roy family patriarch and founder of Waystar RoyCo, played by Brian Cox. But it's exciting news for fans nevertheless--check the tweet out below:

The hugely entertaining first trailer for Succession Season 3 was released in July. All the main cast are set to return, including Jeremy Strong as Kendall, Kieran Culkin as Roman, Sarah Snook as Siobhan, Matthew Macfadyen as Tom, Hiam Abbass as Marcia, Nicholas Braun as Greg, and Alan Ruck as Connor. New cast members for this season include Alexander Skarsgård (Godzilla vs. Kong), Adrien Brody (Peaky Blinders), and Hope Davis (Captain America: Civil War).

Season 2 aired in 2019 and subsequently won seven Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor In a Drama Series for Cox. Production on Season 3 was set to begin in April last year but was delayed due to the pandemic. The show was created by British comedy writer Jesse Armstrong (In the Loop, Peep Show).
