Succession is coming to a close tonight. Francesca Orsi, Head of Drama at HBO, recently spoke about the possibility of spin-offs at a recent press event.
Starring Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, and Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Justine Lupe, Dagmara Domińczyk, Arian Moayed, Scott Nicholson, Zoë Winters, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Juliana Canfield, Jeannie Berlin, Alexander Skarsgård, Cherry Jones, Hope Davis, Justin Kirk, Stephen Root, Annabeth Gish, Adam Godley, Eili Harboe, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Harriet Walter, James Cromwell, Natalie Gold, Caitlin Fitzgerald, Ashley Zukerman, Larry Pine, Mark-Linn Baker, and Pip Torrens, the series, created by Jesse Armstrong, follows the themes of power and family dynamics while focusing on the Roy family in New York City.
Orsi said the following about plans for a fifth season or if the series could continue in another way, per Deadline:
“No, not at this point now. I know there was some talk about spinoffs, but no, not at all. I’ll never say never but my instinct and based on a number of conversations about the evolution of Succession and these characters, at this stage, there is no intention of spinning any one character off. Jesse, should he do a series again, I think it will be entirely original. Whether it’s based on IP or not, I’m not sure, but it will be a new show, a new idea entirely.”
That being said, Orsi still hopes to work with Armstrong again:
“There is maybe sadness in that I don’t have the opportunity to build something with him — at least not for now. I’m not sure what he’s going to be doing next, and I’m looking forward to sitting with him after the writers strike and seeing what he’d like to do… He’s an original thinker, and I have no doubt that he’s going to impress us and move us once again with something new at some point.”
What do you think? Would you have watched a fifth season of Succession on HBO? Would you tune in for a spin-off if it happened?
