The first episode of the fourth and final season of “Succession” begins in the same setting that kicked off the whole series when it premiered five years ago, at the birthday party of the family patriarch Logan Roy.
However, there are some key differences at this year’s extremely depressing fête: Logan’s ousted children, Shiv, Kendall, and Roman are not there to partake in the celebration, as they’re in Los Angeles plotting their revenge on the vicious way their father blocked their coup attempt, namely by launching a media brand described as “Substack meets Masterclass meets The Economist meets The New Yorker.” On the opposite side of the country, Tom has gone from a punching bag to a power player who is “very heartened” by Logan’s loving reassurance that “if we’re good, we’re good.” But perhaps the starkest contrast to the series’ first episode is that Greg (Nicholas Braun) is no longer the outsider nepo baby looking for a job. In fact, he’s grown to become so comfortable that he’s brought a date to his ancient uncle’s birthday party, who one member of the firm refers to as “Bridget Randomfuck.” Why the dig? Apparently the tip off that she didn’t belong with this pack of silver spoon-fed wolves (aside from asking for a selfie with Logan) was her Burberry tote bag that, despite costing nearly $3,000, is apparently not the accessory of billionaires.

A brand new take on the novel “Twins” by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, later adapted by David Cronenberg in 1988 and starring Jeremy Irons, “Dead Ringers” sees Weisz as ambitious New York obstetricians – and twin sisters – Beverly and Elliot.
