'Succession' season 4 finale to run for 90 minutes

The final episode of the HBO series Succession will be 90 minutes long, composer Nicholas Britell divulged to Variety.

The season has focused on the Roy family's struggle to take over Waystar Royco after the death of their patriarch, Logan Roy, in a shocking episode.

The show's creator, Jesse Armstrong, had planned to end the series after its fourth season and believes the current season tells a complete story.

“There’s a promise in the title of ‘Succession.’ I’ve never thought this could go on forever,” Armstrong told Variety ahead of season 4 premiere.. “The end has always been kind of present in my mind. From Season 2, I’ve been trying to think: Is it the next one, or the one after that, or is it the one after that?”

However, he has also expressed openness to the possibility of revisiting the show's world or characters in the future. The series is executive produced by several individuals, including Mark Mylod, Adam McKay, and Will Ferrell.

The fourth season of Succession saw a dramatic rise in viewership, with an average of 8.4 million viewers per episode across linear streaming platforms. This is an increase from the 7.9 million average reported by Variety after the release of Episode 5 last week.

The last season of HBO's Succession is set to conclude May 28.
