00:12telling The New Yorker that there's a promise in the title of Succession.

00:15I've never thought this could go on forever. The end has always been kind of present in my mind.

00:20From season two, I've been trying to think, is it the next one or the one after that?

00:24Or is it the one after that?

00:25Armstrong said he and the writers decided to end the series when crafting season four toward the end of 2021.

00:33We played out various scenarios. We could do a couple of short seasons or two more seasons.

00:38Or we could go on for ages and turn the show into something rather different and be a more rangy, freewheeling kind of fun show,

00:44where there could be good weeks and bad weeks.

00:47Or we could do something a bit more muscular and complete and go out sort of strong.

00:51Reps for HBO declined to comment outside of confirming The New Yorker's story is accurate.

00:57Succession broke out in its first season and earned the Emmy for Best Drama Series for its sophomore run,

01:02and followed that up with another win for its third season.

01:06The show's sweeping cast have all become regular names every award season and have collected numerous wins among them.

01:12Season four of Succession returns March 26th on HBO.
