The raging, wonderful Roy family returns to HBO on March 26 for the fourth and final season of Succession. Details about who will shiv whom in the back—and who’ll emerge triumphant to run the empire—have been scarce, but the show has always drawn inspiration from the equally dysfunctional real world of media and finance. Today, VF’s Natalie Jarvey digs deep into the headlines that have influenced the Successionuniverse for clues as to where the show is likely headed. The Murdoch family may be the most obvious analogue for the Roys, but Jarvey also explains the show’s parallels to the Sulzbergers, who own The New York Times; Spotify CEO Daniel Ek; conservative media personality Jordan Peterson;and more. If the real world is any indication, the Roy family dinners are about to get even nastier.
