The Succession Family Tree: A Guide to the Dysfunctional Roy Dynasty

Filial piety is a concept entirely lost on Logan Roy's four kids. But with a father like that, who can really blame them? The billionaire patriarch at the center of the HBO cult hit Succession rules over his clan like he does his colossal media and entertainment empire—with an iron first.

Now that the blistering satire has finally returned for season 3, which premiered last week, our Sunday evenings can once more be devoted to tuning into what fresh hell awaits for Logan and co. as his "number one boy" Kendall attempts yet another coup, one that just may tear this family apart for good (not to mention implode the very company that fattens the Roy coffers).
