Succession season 5: What to expect after the season 4 finale and what future for a spin-off?

The end of an era for the Roy family

After four seasons full of twists and turns, the iconic series Succession ended with a final episode that kept viewers in suspense, revealing Logan Roy’s heir to head Waystar. While this conclusion seems to put an end to the saga of the Roys, many fans are wondering if there will be a sequel in the form of a fifth season or even a spin-off.

No season 5…for the moment

The answers obtained during a recent interview with Francesca Orsi, head of drama at HBO, do not allow us to give a definitive answer as to a possible season 5. She indicates, however, that the creators of Succession have always seen their story as having “a clear beginning, middle and end“. So, even if no season 5 has been officially announced at the moment, it is possible that the team prefers to focus on other projects before possibly returning to this universe so popular with the public.

A potential spin-off for Succession?

The critical and commercial success of Succession obviously evokes the idea of ​​a spin-off to extend the adventure of secondary characters or new intrigues in this merciless universe. According to Francesca Orsi, the HBO channel would be “open to all ideas” concerning a possible spin-off but there is no concrete project yet at this stage.

Some ideas for a successful spin-off

If ever a spin-off were to be developed, here are some possibilities that could appeal to fans:

• A prequel : The story of Logan Roy, from his humble beginnings to the creation and success of the Waystar.
• The Roy children after the finale : In order to know how everyone will manage their personal and professional lives following the events of season 4.
• Another media empire : A new departure featuring a different family, with operations similar to that of the Roys but in another sector of activity.

However, you will have to be patient before knowing more about the possible continuation of the Succession universe. In any case, this series will have left its mark with its careful writing, its exceptional actors and the multiple twists and turns which have fascinated viewers.
