From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

HBO has just released the first teaser trailer for Season 3 of Succession.

Production on the new season was delayed by the pandemic, so fans of the widely praised and critically acclaimed series have been waiting since the second season ended with a bombshell in October 2019.

The darkly funny drama follows the Roy family as each member attempts to make their way to the top of the family’s global media company, Waystar Royco.

In the new trailer, patriarch Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) seem to be preparing to go to war with their father.

“He’s our dad, but he was going to send me to jail,” Kendall tells them. “But he’d do the same to all of us.”

Later, Logan asks Shiv: “Are you part of this family or not?”

Neither Adrien Brody or Alexander Skarsgård appear in the trailer despite the recent announcement that they will both be joining the cast for the new season.

The trailer does however promise more of fan-favourite Cousin Greg’s (Nicholas Braun) uneven alliance with Shiv’s husband Tom (Matthew Macfayden). “Everyone’s going to battle in armour, and I’m sitting here exposed,” laments Greg.

Succession season three begins on Sky Atlantic and NOW this Autumn. Seasons one to two are available to catch up now on Sky On-Demand and NOW.
