With the final season of Game of Thrones on hold until 2019, HBO is looking to its other dramas to keep audiences entertained in the interim. Westworld will return for its sophomore season this spring, and then pass the baton to new drama Succession, which will premiere in June.
Succession revolves around four children battling for power as their father, billionaire media and entertainment mogul Brian Cox, prepares to step back from his empire. While the plot sounds like a thinly-veiled version of Rupert Murdoch and his own company, 21st Century Fox, the show’s producers spent their time at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour trying to distance Succession from the Australian patriarch.
