T10 WHATS UP! March 26 - April 1, 2023 caught up), the siblings and oth- er main employees had chosen to back either Kendall, the for- mer golden boy once poised to inherit the Roy empire, or Lo- gan, the stubborn patriarch and ruthless company king. Last season also ushered in a new pawn-turned-power play- er: GoJo CEO and tech genius Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård, "The Northman," 2022), who has been putting the moves on Logan in hopes of buying out the "antiquated" Waystar Royco. This buyout, which once seemed unlikely due to Logan's instinct to shut down every potential deal with a glare and a cutting F-bomb, now appears to be a go. Wheth- er his change of heart is finan- cial, strategic or spite-fueled, however, remains to be seen in its entirety. It doesn't exactly take a keen observer to notice Logan got more power-hungry and domi- neering than ever in the Season 3 finale, though. After having cut his children off from the media empire in one final, det- rimental blow, Logan stands more alone than ever in his cor- ner. Shiv and Roman, mean- while, appear to have joined Kendall in his longstanding Shakespearean quest to over- throw his father. And while the official HBO trailer seems to signal Logan's rivals, Stewy Hosseini (Arian Moayed, "Inventing Anna") and the Furnesses, Sandy (Larry Pine, "The French Dispatch," 2021) and Sandi (Hope Davis, "Captain America: Civil War," 2016), joining the siblings to overthrow the patriarch, Cous- in Greg (Nicholas Braun, "How to Be Single," 2016) and Shiv's husband, Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen, "Pride & Prejudice," 2005) — a deadly duo in their own right — have been cooking up their own plan, one featuring "attack dogs" and all. Though the sheer number of people against Logan may seem like a promising plan to oust him once and for all, it's impor- tant to remember how quickly things can change in "Succes- sion." In fact, HBO indicated that nothing is truly certain ex- cept "existential angst and fa- milial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal [with Matsson] is completed." Armstrong further set the stage for the "bumpy ride" to- ward the series finale when he told Town & Country that there is sure to be "a lot of hard ren- dering and conflict" ahead. "Succession," which also stars J. Smith-Cameron ("Search Par- ty"), Peter Friedman ("The Path"), David Rasche ("Impas- tor") and Fisher Stevens ("The Blacklist") as Waystar Royco ex- ecutives Gerri, Frank, Karl and Hugo, respectively, launches Season 4 Sunday, March 26. Each of the final season's 10 episodes will release weekly on HBO. continued from page T2 Next in 'Succession': Backstabbing, banter and business continue in final season TV FEATURE Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin in "Succession"
