Final theories of season 4 of ‘Succession’

Kendall gets everything she wants, doesn’t she?

A very popular chorus that I see from r/SuccessionTV Navigators is theorized that Kendall will gain control and become CEO of WayStar RoyCo, but lose everything, including his family and personal happiness, in the process. He would also control a company that needed to be bought out to survive, and now he just puts out fires every day. like me predicted before, running the Death Star may not be all the good that the Empire thinks it is. After last night episodemost people are on Shiv or Roman but their flags are still flying high.

Outside Roy Kids, inside Tom Wambsgan

Tom seems to be a little off the grid due to both his toxic relationship with Shiv and his tarnished reputation as ATN president after the chose. However, some Reddit users claim that all of these potential mishaps are simply misdirection. Tom is going to end up as the CEO, according to u/PlutoMMA. “Matsson believes that Mencken accepted an American CEO, but I have a strong feeling that one or both of them do not want it to be Shiv,” they wrote. “Tom knows ATN, it would be easier as a puppeteer.” A decent theory, honestly! I could easily see it play out where all the Roy brothers lose and the misogyny of villainous types like Matsson and Mencken gives way to choosing Tom over Shiv. That guy has been in demon mode lately. So has his minion, Greg.

Scandal? Murder?

Many (too many?) commenters on r/SuccessionTV they are looking for blood. They want scandal, they want murder, and I can’t blame them. Sometimes, you just have to spice it up. But Succession he has largely kept the human cost of the Roy family’s dirty business on the sidelines. Sure, Roman blew up a rocket and Kendall accidentally killed that guy in a car accident, but no one has killed themselves for personal gain yet. Are we saving a big crime for last? “I don’t think that’s what Jesse Armstrong wants you to worry about,” the user said. u/QuietRainyDay aware. “We’ve seen kids make endless terrible decisions, and yet here they are still, rich and powerful enough to influence a presidential election. That’s the scary part. The shocking part. That’s what should make you uncomfortable. “. That seems fine to me!

maybe this is not the end

As a user called u/cold_breadfruit_9794 noted, “It’s hard to fully predict because I feel like Jesse Armstrong likes to leave most of the ‘sky is falling’ and unpredictable twists until the end. All I know is that it’s going to be open-ended enough to feel like another season could happen.”

Totally possible! Although this looks like the end of Successioneveryone seems to agree that ending in fourth season felt too soon. There’s also been a lot of talk about possible spin-offs, as HBO might have a hard time saying goodbye to one of its most popular series of the last decade. We will know very soon this Sunday.
