Succession season 4: Don’t expect any eventual spin-offs
What’s the reason for that? It’s really rather simple: This is a story about a singular family, and it hard to imagine it working unless the entire group is in some way involved.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview on this very subject, here is some of what network programming head Casey Bloys had to say on the subject:
A world like Game of Thrones where George R.R. Martin has an entire universe and thousand-year timeline and multiple families and wars and history, that’s not what [showrunner] Jesse [Armstrong] has set up. There’s no scenario where a Succession multiverse is in the cards.
While we know that there’s always going to be a temptation to do more of a show like this, the great thing about HBO is that they know when to avoid that … at least some of the time. They didn’t try to extend The Wire, after all, and the same goes for Six Feet Under. You can argue that The Sopranos had a prequel movie and therefore a franchise, but that wasn’t something they rushed into by any means.
