Created byJesse Armstrong,Successionwas met with rave reviews for its first season about a Murdoch family analog that strongly parallels the real-life NewsCorp and its Fox News/20th Century Fox operations. Though presented like a drama with hour-long episodes,Successionhas a nasty satirical streak that made the series a major critical hit, despite poor ratings. The series currently holds an 86% approval rating with critics saying, “spectacle of rich people behaving badly makesSuccessionentertaining, but only up to a point.”
But it’s that critical ardor that keepsSuccessionback for a second season, as the Roy family deals with the ramifications of the dramatic season 1 finale, while ruthless patriarch Logan (Brian Cox) pits his children against each other while deciding who shall inherit his media empire. However, Logan’s increasingly poor health throws a wrench in things, while another media family (played by newcomersCherry JonesandHolly Hunter) enter a partnership with the Roys.
The series stars Brian Cox,Jeremy Strong,Kieran Culkin,Sarah Snook,Matthew Macfadyen, andNicholas Braun, with Holly Hunter joining the cast for Season 2.
