Following the show’s recent premiere, HBO has renewed the drama series Succession for a second season.

Created by Oscar and WGA nominee Jesse Armstrong (In the Loop), with the pilot written by Armstrong and directed by Oscar winner Adam McKay (The Big Short), Succession launched its ten-episode season on 4 June.

The show follows the Roy family – Logan Roy and his four children – which controls one of the biggest media and entertainment conglomerates in the world, tracking their lives as they contemplate what the future will hold for them once their aging father begins to step back from the company.

The season one cast includes Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Hiam Abbass, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, Natalie Gold, Peter Friedman and Rob Yang.

Among the early critical praise for the first season, the Wall Street Journal has hailed the show as a “scintillating drama,” as well as “irresistible entertainment” and a “ferociously satiric series,” while the Los Angeles Times termed it “sharply written and expertly played.” The New Yorker called Succession “irresistible,” and the Hollywood Reporter described it as “coolly entertaining and sharply acted, with performances to relish and dialogue to savour.”

With Jesse Armstrong serving as showrunner, Succession is executive-produced by Jesse Armstrong, Adam McKay, Frank Rich, Kevin Messick, Will Ferrell, Jane Tranter and Mark Mylod.

New episodes of the first season air every Monday at on HBO GO and HBO. Viewers can catch up on past episodes anytime on HBO GO and HBO On Demand or watch the repeat telecast of each new episode when it encores on the same day.
