After a two-year hiatus (thanks, COVID-19) smash-hit HBO drama Succession is back. The action picks up moments after season two ended, with foul-mouthed Waystar RoyCo boss Logan Roy (Cox) locked in a toxic power struggle with his rebellious son, Kendall (Jeremy Strong).

We won't spoilt it for you, but as Logan's health declines and his family becomes ever more intent on boardroom bloodshed, the sweary patriarch must form uneasy alliances with younger son Roman (Kieran Culkin) and daughter Shiv (Sara Snook) to avoid jail and secure his empire. It all sounds strangely familiar, doesn't it?

You can get a taste of what's to come by watching the official trailer below. The nine-episode third season streams on HBO Max in the US, Sky in the UK and Binge in Australia. The new season has already earned universal acclaim, with The Guardian calling it "as glorious and furious as ever".

The finale, Episode 9 (All The Bells Say), is streaming now on HBO Max in the States. Follow this guide on how to watch Succession season 3 from anywhere in the world.

Will there be a Succession season 4 and 5?

Almost certainly. In an October 2021 interview with GQ magazine, veteran actor Brian Cox said: "I would say possibly two more series and then I think we're done. But it just depends and may just be only one more series. It depends what the writers feel. I know they've got an endgame. They haven't told us what the ending is, but there is an endgame. So it's just how they get up to that endgame, whether it takes one series or two series. I think it's going to be hard to let go of it this early. I think it needs a couple more series before it really comes to a culmination."

When is Succession season 3 out on DVD?

Succession Season 3 is due to be released on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK and USA. The date is still to be announced, but we'd expect to see both discs show up in early 2022.
