Succession has returned to our screens for its fourth and final series, bringing more of the high-stakes game of globe-trotting human Monopoly so avidly followed by viewers around the world.
Fans of the hit HBO show can expect “existential angst and familial division” among the Roy family, as a power struggle continues for control of the Waystar Royco media empire.
