Returning: Succession

Hit drama series Succession will return for its third season in mid-October, same time as the USA.

Returning cast include Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen and Peter Friedman. They are joined by Adrien Brody and Alexander Skarsgard.

The award-winning drama series, whose second season won a total of seven Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series, will premiere its nine-episode new season, following on from a compelling season two finale.

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.

Set in New York, the bitingly funny drama series Succession explores themes of power, politics, money, and family, centred around the Roy family and their family-controlled media conglomerate.

12.00pm Monday, October 18 on FOX Showcase.
