Why did Succession end?

Succession was one of HBO’s most popular shows during its run (2018–2023). Despite its popularity, it ended after just four seasons. Creator Jesse Armstrong viewed the fourth season as the show’s definitive conclusion, choosing to end the series on a strong note rather than let it drag on.

Which family is Succession based on?

The story of Logan Roy and the complexities his succession caused within his family is loosely based on media magnate Rupert Murdoch.

How many seasons are there of Succession?

There are four seasons of Succession, which premiered in 2018 and ended in 2023.

Did BINGE remove Succession?

BINGE used to offer a catalogue of shows and movies, with original programming and HBO content as highlights. However, the arrival of Max in Australia on 31 March 2025 meant the departure of all HBO programs from BINGE’s library—including Succession.

Where to watch Succession in Australia?

Every season of Succession is now available to watch on Max, which, by extension, is also available on Foxtel. This is because a Basic Max plan is included in any of Foxtel’s entertainment packages at no additional cost. It is, however, important to note that Succession will no longer be on Showcase. You can watch it directly on Max. To start streaming Max, you’ll first need to set up your access via your internet connected iQ3, iQ4 or iQ5.
