Succession Season 3 premiere release date, time, plot, trailer, and HBO schedule
Everything we know about Succession's long-awaited return.
Succession is arguably TV’s best family drama.
The Roy family and their ever-shifting loyalties are gripping to watch, and no one agrees as to who will ultimately succeed, or at least defeat, patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox).
Those familial dynamics are at the core of the new season, coming off the heels of Kendall’s (Jeremy Strong) shocking Season 2 finale betrayal. Who will side with Logan? Who will take a chance and ally themselves with Kendall? Or will one of the other Roy siblings — Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), or Connor (Alan Ruck) — make their own major power move? And where does dear cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) fall along these new battle lines?
With Succession returning for its third season, we’re readying ourselves for a whirlwind of backstabbing, brutal quips, and private jets this season. Here is everything you need to know about the Season 3 premiere episode and what to expect in the upcoming new season.

What is the plot of Succession Season 3, Episode 1?
Succession’s Season 3 premiere episode, titled “Secession,” is written by showrunner Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Mylod, who’s helmed several Game of Thrones episodes and previous installments of Succession.
The first episode follows the aftermath of the Season 2 finale, in which Kendall Roy betrayed his father Logan and announced to the press that Logan was aware of misconduct at the family’s media conglomerate, Waystar Royco, even overseeing legal settlements.
The premiere sees Kendall putting a team together and finding a new base of operations, as Logan and the rest of the Roy family scramble to find a safe place to strategize their next move.
