Another family drama, although this time in a much more modern setting. Succession is about the Roy family, who control one of the biggest media and entertainment conglomerates in the world.

When the leader of the company and head of the family, Logan (Brian Cox) takes a step back, the family has to face up to what the future is going to look like without him.

Peep Show's Jesse Armstrong has created the HBO series (he also wrote Black Mirror's The Entire History of You, so he can do tech drama and brilliant comedy), with Adam McKay and Will Ferrell executive producing. The cast includes Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, and Sarah Snook.

Air Date: June 3
