What will Succession season 4 be about?

We know one thing for certain: Alexander Skarsgård will return as Lukas Matsson, who was introduced last season. Matsson was poised to be Waystar’s saviour, sweeping in with financial backing to keep the conglomerate afloat during a sea of damaging accusations and controversies.

Shooting has also been confirmed in the dramatic landscapes of Norway and, in an exclusive with Variety, producer Scott Ferguson suggests that we might be spending a large amount of screen time with the enigmatic character.

“We were really excited when Alexander came on board – he’s a wonderful actor. And from the beginning, [showrunner Jesse Armstrong’s] idea was that the tech company was going to be led by someone from a Scandinavian country. In the writer’s room, around February, Jesse had an idea for an episode they wanted to be in [Matsson’s] part of the world.”

So it seems that as Waystar gets closer to its merger with Matsson’s tech empire, the Roys may need to defer to Matsson.
