But time's running out for him to turn up in this series, either meaning teh wedding will be the focus of an episode late in season 3 or perhaps Lady Caroline and her new beau could be players in season 4 (which has been confirmed by HBO). Torrens has played sneering scoundrels in the likes of Poldark, Preacher, Patrick Melrose, and The Nevers, suggesting Munion will be bad news. And one of the main characters was a baggily conservative politician named Peter Mannion.Īs glimpsed in a picture on Roman's phone, Munion appears to be played by Pip Torrens. That show was written by Armando Iannucci, Simon Blackwell and Tony Roche along with Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. Lady Caroline Collingwood, seen at Shiv and Tom's wedding in season 1 and in London in season 2, is to wed a care home CEO named Peter Munion.įans of razor-sharp political satire The Thick of It will chuckle at the name. Her simmering tension with her father comes to a head when he demands, "Are you part of this family or not?" In the moment, Shiv decides she stands with the clan.Ī more personal bombshell lands on the family as Roman, Kendall and Shiv discover their mother is remarrying. Shiv's newfound familial ruthlessness reaches its limit when she balks at Logan's endorsement. And despite Shiv's conscience finally reasserting itself, he opts for Mencken. It's down to Logan to pick the best (for him) of a bad bunch. And there's box office Jeryd Mencken the alt-right firebrand. There's Rick Selgado, who goes straight at Shiv with a promise to lock up Logan. He whispers with Logan to anoint a nominee the Republican base can rally behind, which means Logan is in charge of picking in what's been dubbed the "ATN primary."Īnd the contenders? There's Vice President Dave Boyer, the lip-licking cartoon bear. The only thing cringier than his flirting is his joke about being canceled. The grand muckety-muck is played by Stephen Root, and he probably has a real name but it's much easier to remember him as Larry Lech.
In fairly typical Succession style, we quickly meet a bunch of besuited new characters and have to work out who's who. The Future freedom summit may be a safe space where you don't have to pretend to like Hamilton, but it still gives off "Berlin bunker vibes." The Roys arrive in Virginia for a conservative conference (Con-Con, if you will) at which movers and shakers meet to figure out who can replace the Raisin and run for president at such short notice. Meanwhile Logan and WayStar are inching their way back into the game with a show of legal cooperation intended to bog down the investigation until they can connive to turn off the heat. At heart Kendall is often just a petulant kid who doesn't like being told what to do, and that's going to lose him everything.
He's savvy enough to hire the best people, but he isn't bright enough to listen to their expertise. Kendall's biggest problem (well, at least near the top of a very long list) is that he thinks he's smart.
But he's rich enough to just say it anyway and expect it to happen. Again, he's self-ware enough to know he's said something he shouldn't. I'm saying what you think I think," he admonishes his legal team in this episode. So why is it all slipping through his fingers? There's a recurring motif this season of Kendall saying something obnoxious or entitled then playing it off as a joke.
Kendall has the best lawyer, the best story and the fucking receipts.
