Just two episodes into season three and Succession has been renewed for a fourth season.

HBO has renewed the Emmy-winning drama, which stars Brian Cox as the foul-mouthed patriarch of the Roy family's media empire, Waystar Royco.

"With each season of Succession, Jesse Armstrong has continued to surpass our wildest expectations, pulling us deeper into the Roy family’s inner sanctum with indelible wit, humanity, and precision," HBO’s executive vice president of programming Francesca Orsi said in a statement.

"This season is undoubtedly no exception, and we couldn’t be more excited for all that’s in store in this next season ahead."

Alongside Cox, Jeremy Strong playing son Kendall, Kieran Culkin as son Roman, and Sarah Snook as daughter Shiv. Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, J Smith-Cameron and Alan Ruck round out the supporting cast.

Succession won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 2020 following its second season.

The critically-acclaimed show returned earlier this month for a third run after more than two years off the air as a result of the pandemic. It can be seen in Ireland on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
