Succession Midseason Trailer; [SPOILER] on Who Wins Fight For Power

After a shocking episode of HBO's Succession, we have a look ahead at what's to come; [SPOILER] on who they think will/won't end up on top.

Well, that was definitely one way to throw a major wrench into the plans between Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård). Based on what we're still seeing on social media this morning, viewers are still processing this weekend's episode of HBO & Jesse Armstrong's fourth & final season of Succession. But before we take a look back at "Connor's Wedding" and then a look ahead to what S04E04 "Honeymoon States," we have some thoughts from [SPOILERS] on who will be in power once the dust settles on the series. We're throwing on the "MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!" sign, so consider yourself fairly warned…

Well, it looks like Logan won't be around (at least in the "being alive" sense) to see who grabs the reigns of power within the family (if any of them actually do), with the family matriarch dying in flight, on his way to finalizing the deal with Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) in tow. So what are we left with? A cross between King Lear, Julius Ceasar, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (metaphorically from a family sense) as the Roys begin to take sides and turn on one another to see who gets the top spot.

"My suspicion is that it won't be the kids. I think that they will get locked out. Ultimately, they'll get locked out," Cox shared during an interview with Deadline Hollywood that was released after Sunday night's episode aired. "Ultimately, they will be, you know, the whole Pierce thing was such a stupid fucking idea anyway and not well handled on their part. It was the last big mistake, and I could see them walking into a shitstorm."

And as Cox sees it, it won't be the only "shitstorm" that's on the way. "I think they're going to be walking into more shitstorms. So, I'm not sure if they're going to be coming out running it. So, the only other alternative is to, I suppose is, Matsson [Skarsgård], you know… if that works. Or, the other alternative is, where does Tom and Greg go to, you know? Where do they go to? What does Tom go to, with, in his extremely dysfunctional relationship with his wife?"
