Actor Jeremy Strong, who plays media executive
Kendall Roy, said he felt lucky "to be part of something that is
such a sort of cultural lightning rod and part of people's lives
and at the center of the culture in a meaningful way."
"Succession" has been widely lauded, its second season winning
Golden Globes last year for best drama series and best actor in
a drama series for Brian Cox, as well as seven Emmys, including
for Strong's lead acting performance.
The third season, which debuts on AT&T Inc's HBO on Oct. 17,
will explore the aftermath of Kendall Roy's decision to publicly
air allegations of wrongdoing in the family firm.
"It's almost continuous from where we left off in season two,"
said Cox. "That means that the potential is enormous, but also
at the same time that the road is precise."
Kendall is one of four Roy siblings angling to take control of
the family's vast media holdings, with his siblings played by
Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Alan Ruck.
"It's fun to watch billionaires self-destruct," said Ruck, when
asked about the show's appeal. "They are sort of the authors of
their own demise. So let them go, let them do it."
