Succession Has No Planned End Date Yet, Says HBO Head

screenrant.com:

Despite much speculation over when it might come to an end, HBO content head Casey Bloys says hit drama Successiondoesn't yet have a final season planned. Over the course of three seasons, Succession has built itself up to be one of the most critically acclaimed shows on television. In 2020, it swept at the Emmys and proved itself as a force to be reckoned with. Then, last fall, Succession returned for a long-awaited season 3 that upended the game with its jaw-dropping season finale. Audiences and critics alike have praised creator Jesse Armstrong's sharp take on the rich and powerful in America, focusing specifically on the Murdoch-esque Roy family.

Succession has been renewed for season 4 and will likely return in either late 2021 or early 2022. However, even though there are more episodes to come, some have already begun to wonder when the Waystar Royco saga will come to a close. Speculation that the end might be near for Succession was fueled by star Brian Cox, who said last year he thinks it could close up after one or two more seasons. Cox, who plays vicious patriarch Logan, even shared his belief that Succession season 4 truly could end up being the last.

Bloys confirmed what many had already suspected — that the decision lies with Armstrong — and stated he's waiting to hear from the creative team. His full comments are:

That’ll be [series creator] Jesse [Armstrong]’s call, obviously. He’s with the writers
