HBO has some new company. Deadline reports Alan Ruck (pictured), Parker Sawyers, Hiam Abbass, Rob Yang, and Peter Friedman have joined the cast of the network’s new pilot, Succession.

From Adam McKay and Jesse Armstrong, the drama “follows the saga of the Roys, a fictional American global-media family that is not only rich and powerful but also powerfully dysfunctional.” The cast includes Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, and Matthew Macfadyen.

From Deadline:

Abbas will play Marcia (Marcy), current wife of Logan (Cox) — a loving, formidable partner. Ruck is Connor Roy, the eldest son and only child from Logan’s first marriage. Although also on the board of directors at the firm, Connor ploughs his own furrow. Yang is Lawrence, founder and CEO of a digital media outfit who is the target of a buyout. Sawyers will play Alessandro, a young, bright, up-and-coming executive at the family firm. Friedman is Francis (Frank), COO of the firm, old family friend and a mentor figure to Kendall (Strong).”
