The third season of HBO’s ultra-buzzy dramedy “Succession” has cleaned up on Emmy nomination day.

Other nominees include Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong in the best actor in a drama series category, J. Smith Cameron and Sarah Snook in best supporting actress in a drama, and Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew McFayden in best supporting actor in a drama series.

The show has won a litany of top awards in the past, including the Golden Globe for best drama television series, the Emmy for drama series and the BAFTA for international program. Additionally, stars Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong have been awarded the Golden Globe for best actor in a television series (drama), with Strong also winning the Emmy for lead actor in a drama series.
For its third season, “Succession” has already won the SAG Award for ensemble cast, the Producers Guild Award for drama series, two Writers Guild Awards including drama series, and the Directors Guild Award for drama directing.
In June, it was confirmed that production had begun on the show’s fourth season. The official synopsis for Season 4 reads: “In the 10-episode season four, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.”
