Succession has added three more to its cast. The drama pilot is currently being developed by HBO, and it will follow the lives of the Roys, which are described as “a fictional American global-media family that is not only rich and powerful but also powerfully dysfunctional.”
Deadline reported that Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin have joined the cast of the series. The news outlet shared the following about their roles:
“Cox will play Logan Roy, the tough, powerful, and aging patriarch of the Roy family and head of a family-controlled international media conglomerate. Strong will portray Kendall Roy, eldest son from Logan’s second marriage, currently a Division President at the family firm and the heir apparent. Culkin is Roman Roy, Logan’s outspoken, fun-loving son and Kendall’s younger brother. Though still on the board of directors at the firm, he no longer works there.”
The cast of the drama also includes Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen. Will you check out Succession if it makes it to series status on HBO? Tell us what you think.
I noticed what appeared to be Danny Huston playing Logan’s attorney in Episode 1 but not credited in the cast list? He is also has a main part in Yellowstone. Is he leaving one of them??
This is the single most amazing cast I have ever seen. The talents are phenomenal. The writing and direction are phenomenal as well. I savor each episode. If it went on forever I would watch it just for the wonderful talents on display
I just saw the promo and it looks great–it even features one of the Culkins!There have been several real family sagas that closely mirror what seems to be happening here & I await the plot exposition.
Yes I don’t watch tv much but will definitely watch this. Sounds fascinating. Great writer and cast.
It sounds interesting. Cast is new and fresh for American audiences.
