See full version: Succession Season 3: Premiere Date, Trailer, and Everything Else to Know
While all the Roys and Roy-adjacents (looking at you, Tom) are set to return for Season 3, expect to see a whole host of new faces hanging around and (probably) causing trouble. It was announced in January that Sanaa Lathan, Linda Emond, Jihae, and Hope Davis are all set to join the cast in recurring roles. here
The Succession Season 3 teaser trailer shows that Kendall isn't backing down after throwing his father under the bus at the end of Season 2, but he still has to get his siblings on board. Shiv (Sarah Snook) is contemplating turning against the hand that has fed the family, but she wants Kendall to agree to let her take over the company if she backs his play. Does she actually have the guts to do it, or will this be yet another failed attempt at a coup for Kendall? here
Lathan will play Lisa Arthur, a high-profile and well-connected lawyer in New York. Emond plays Michelle-Anne Vanderhoven, a White House staffer, and Jihae will play Berry Schneider, a public relations consultant. Davis will play Sandi Furness, daughter to Logan's longtime rival, Sandy Furness (Larry Pine). here
As Succession Season 3 approaches, TV Guide is compiling all the information we have on the new episodes. Read on to find out everything we know so far about Succession's return. more
Succession Season 3 will premiere in October on HBO. The news was announced in August with an appropriately straightforward tweet, which teases "October" alongside a picture of Brian Cox as Logan Roy. here
Hiam Abbass: I think this family and these Roy kids are used to having everything for themselves. The idea of this stranger coming into the family disturbs their way of being. Their father shows them that she's the only trustworthy person in his life. It's about jealousy. Also, they don't really know her. Not yet.
HBO: What do we learn about Marcia's role in the family and the extent of her control over the company? more
HBO: Marcia's clearly a very mysterious and complex character. One we're still learning a lot about. more
Marcia Holland was a shy, privileged girl who attended Camp New Horizons and fought Angela Baker for her life in 1989.
The script describes her as "a pretty blonde 16-year old. Her slight nervousness makes her all the more appealing." [links]
Named after Marcia Brady from The Brady Bunch.

The Dream team and OJ then convalesce while Shapiro takes a vacation to Hawaii. They even go to his office and remove all of his OJ files and put them in Cochran’s office. Shapiro is pissed to come back and find this out, especially when The Daily News splashes it across their front page. He confronts them when he gets back, rushing into Cochran’s office. The Dream Team were waiting for him and have OJ on conference call ready to talk it out. At first OJ tries to tell Shapiro with football metaphors. But then F. Lee Bailey gives Shapiro the bad news point blank – looks like Bailey will be billing hours after all on this case. When the rest of The Dream Team concurs with Bailey, it’s officially decided to make Cochran leader and Shapiro has no choice but to accept. Truth is, this frees him from the very problem his wife talked about. Now defending OJ isn’t all on his shoulders anymore. But this is a man who hates to lose any ground. So, he pouts anyway. In the final scene The Dream Team walks into court and are taken aback by Darden’s presence on the prosecution team. OJ asks Cochran, “When did they get a black guy?” and Marcia smiles at them. She’s finally got one small victory for her side. [links]
Next Marcia leads prosecution strategy meeting while at the same time we see a parallel defense meeting led by Johnny. For every point Clark raises “The Dream Team” notes a counterpoint. She brings up OJ’s history of domestic violence, sixty two instances on record. She says this shows he was a serial abuser and proves motive. Then Dershowitz implies that they will keep all that evidence out of court. Bill then says the the prosecution has a solid timeline and on the defense side Barry Scheck counters saying the fact that the DA’s timeline does them a huge favor because it’s such a small window and thus can easily be attacked. Kardashian also mentions that “their bombshell witness is a dog,” which the prosecution neglects to see as a potential issue. In fact, they romanticize it saying, “Everything begins with the plaintive wail of the Akita”. Marcia then talks about all the blood evidence and Dershowtiz says there’s no way they’ll put Fuhrman on the stand given his racist history. The DA talks about the evidence as “devastating proof” while the defense speaks of the “haphazard” collection of it. So, both sides have their arguments ready, now they just have to distribute the work to back it all up. Clark hands out assignments and gives Darden the detectives Vannatter and Fuhrman to prepare as witnesses. more
After his visit with OJ, Kardashian talks to Barry Scheck who knows he’s bothered by the DNA evidence but tells him to keep in mind that the crime scene evidence was mishandled and thus tainted. We then see Scheck in action at the courthouse as he attacks the procedurals of all the evidence gathering and breaks down Clark’s witness. He talks about possible contamination and mistakes during the evidence collection and raises the question of mistakes made by the DNA expert. This sends Marcia into a tailspin of throwing files to the floor of the DA’s office. It kills Clark to watch her case implode right before her wearied eyes.
Then things unravel even further for the DA’s office when the news media starts playing the 911 tapes of Nicole calling in about OJ beating her. Marcia rants that her evidence is already all on TV and she’s going to have nothing left by the time the trial starts. It certainly won’t help her case now. Then The New Yorker issue comes out and F Lee Bailey praises Shapiro for his big brass balls. They talk about how the 911 tapes being exposed puts them back in the winning game now that this article is the followup. How can having the 911 tapes out there help them? It’s a lot like what Robert Kardashian told his kids, “Fame is fleeting. It’s hollow,” so people get emotional about it today, yes. But then they move on to the next thing as they do with all news stories. There’s a new one right around the corner that will make them feel something completely different. And guess what that next thing is – Shapiro and his story about how it’s impossible for a black man to get a fair shake with the LAPD. [links]
Johnnie Cochran gets pulled over by a police officer and ends up cuffed for no real reason. After calling the station about him, the cop wishes Johnnie a nice evening and lets him go. Then Cochran’s at church where the minister says a special communal prayer for his work on the OJ Simpson trial. The DA’s office watches the news showing the church’s support of Cochran. Johnnie then comments that isn’t it interesting that now with eight black people put on the jury, the prosecution suddenly adds a black man to their team? Darden see this and looks deer-in-headlights tasered. more
