After Kendall Roy didn’t deliver the kind of press conference his father Logan orchestrated in Succession’s season finale, the drama seems to just be getting started all over again for the Roy family (and the family business, Waystar Royco).

Review: Succession Season 3 Is a F**king Killer

“I dropped a bomb,” Kendall, who’s played by Jeremy Strong, says in the trailer for the HBO drama’s third season, which returns to streaming on HBO Max this Sunday, October 17th. “The whole world is watching for my next move.”

Does HBO Max Have a Free Trial?

Not through HBO, unfortunately. You’ll want to take advantage of one of the above deals to stream HBO Max for free.

You can also pay $14.99 each month to get ad-free access, with some specific titles streaming in 4K UHD — the same price as getting Hulu’s bundle package.
