Where can I watch Succession?
Season 3 Recap and Spoilers
After his bombshell press conference, Kendall braces for impact and tries to sway senior Waystar members onto his team - without much success.
In the line of fire, Logan steps back as CEO, leaving family and company seniors to debate his successor, with Gerri eventually wresting control.
The Department of Justice bears down on Waystar offices and Tom offers to be the fall guy for the cruise scandal - but does he truly mean it?
With the DOJ investigation gathering steam, Logan attempts to pressure the President to intervene. Billionaire investor Josh Aaronson (Adrien Brody) summons Logan and Kendall to his private island, concerned their feud endangers his investment.
As Logan's health takes a turn for the worse, Kendall witnesses Aaronson meet with private equity investor (and bitter rival), Stewy - signalling the threat of a hostile takeover.
It's time for the annual shareholder meeting. Kendall and Logan attempt to come to an agreement with Stewy and Sandi, fearing the worst for Waystar Royco's future. Shiv and Sandi reach a deal - each side gaining an additional board seat - but without the approval of a still-ailing Logan.
Kendall goes into meltdown mode as he receives devastating feedback that his cruise scandal documents are not enough to win his case against Waystar, while Roman learns that his mother is getting married in Tuscany to British CEO, Peter Munion.
In a rare twist of fortune, Tom's jail-time anxieties are lifted after word filters down that the DOJ's investigation into Waystar is weakening.
At Kendall's ridiculously over-the-top 40th birthday party, Roman delivers his and Logan's gift/slap in the face to Kendall: they'll buy out his shares for $2 billion.
Roman meets with Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) in an attempt to broker the acquisition of his streaming company, GoJo, but later discovers that Matsson is more interested in an equal merger. Logan accepts, but after GoJo's market capitalization overtakes Waystar's, a new proposal emerges for GoJo to acquire Waystar with Matsson as CEO and Logan stepping down.
All the while it seems a broken Kendall has finally hit rock bottom. His bold attempt to bring down his father petering toward a miserable end. The penultimate episode sees him floating face down in his own pool. From which he has to be saved from drowning.
Roman and Shiv discover that Logan has gone behind their backs to sell Waystar and team up with Kendall to confront their father, armed with the knowledge of a clause granting the children veto power over any attempt to change company control.
The meeting does not go as planned. Logan is ready for them. Delivering the shattering blow that such a clause no longer exists.
And the bombshell season ending? In an apparent stabbing of backs, it is revealed that Tom had tipped Logan off about the children's imminent coup attempt before they could confront him
Did Tom betray Shiv?
The Season 3 finale of Succession concluded with a Roy family showdown and left viewers asking the question ‘Did Tom betray Shiv?’.
Logan (Brian Cox) plans to sell his media conglomerate to the streaming service GoJo, owned by Swedish tech entrepreneur Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) – crushing the dreams of his children who have spent many years competing for the role of heir to Waystar Royco.
Three of his children – Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Shiv (Sarah Snook) – team up to stop Logan and protect their roles in the family business. They plan on hijacking the deal by following the terms of their mother’s divorce settlement. But Shiv makes what proves to be a fatal error, when she confides in her husband Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) about her and her siblings’ plan to overthrow their father.
Upset by Shiv’s lack of consideration for his safety, Tom decides to make a “deal with the devil” – by betraying his wife to help Logan win. He advises Logan to call his ex-wife and get her to change the settlement, in turn, allowing him to sell the company without a supermajority.
Despite this move coming as a shock to many, the likelihood of Tom betraying Shiv has increased with time. Over the past three seasons we’ve seen Tom slowly discover that his wife has an agenda of her own, which was later confirmed when Shiv revealed to him that she doesn’t find him good enough for her.
