WARNING: Spoilers for Succession season 4The Succession finale trailer previews the end of the series in an episode titled “With Open Eyes.” Succession‘s antepenultimate episode took one of the show’s most devastating turns yet as Roman sways the Presidential election in favor of the far-right conservative candidate, Jeryd Mencken, who promises to block the GoJo deal if elected. Though Kendall is initially uncomfortable with supporting the fascist, he throws his support behind Mencken after he learns that Shiv has been working with Matsson, so ATN preemptively calls the election in his favor.
After the show’s penultimate episode followed Logan’s funeral, HBO released the Succession series finale trailer. Check it out below:
Interspersed with images of the young Roys from Succession‘s opening credits, the series finale trailer previews the role that each Roy sibling will play in the present day as the GoJo deal looms.
What To Expect From The Succession Series Finale
The Succession series finale will serve as the culmination of the Waystar-GoJo sale saga that has dominated the final season. As the future of the family company hangs in the balance, it’s difficult to feel confident about who will come out on top when it’s all said and done. Each Roy sibling has been the front-runner at some point this season, but don’t be surprised if all three end up on the outside looking in. After all, Logan’s final words to them were they’re not “serious people,” and Matsson was who he handpicked to lead the company.
The Succession series finale runtime is 90 minutes, as confirmed by composer Nicholas Britell, ensuring the show will have plenty of time to carefully conclude each storyline, though the finale’s focus will be the final board vote on the Waystar-GoJo deal. There is a shot in the preview of Matsson looking furious, suggesting the deal may blow up in his face. A show’s legacy, such as Game of Thrones, is often decided by the quality of its series finale, so despite all the groundwork laid by Succession thus far, a lot is riding on its final episode next week.
