7 Shows to Watch If You Loved ‘Succession’

If you’re a fan of Succession, you’re probably looking for a new show to sink your teeth into now that it’s over. Luckily, there are plenty of series out there that capture the same dysfunctional family dynamics and cutthroat business politics. Here are seven shows to check out:

House of the Dragon

If you’re missing the power struggles and family drama of Succession, HBO’s House of the Dragon might be the perfect show for you. Set in the Game of Thrones universe, the series follows the Targaryen family as they vie for control of the Iron Throne. There are no cellphones or boardrooms here, just swords and dragons.

Yellowstone

If you’re looking for a Succession-style drama set on a ranch instead of in a corporate boardroom, Yellowstone might be right up your alley. Kevin Costner stars in the Paramount series as the patriarch of a wealthy cattle-ranching family fighting for power in Montana. It’s a little bit country, a little bit cutthroat.

The Sopranos

For a classic take on family dynamics within organized crime, check out The Sopranos. This iconic series follows Tony Soprano, a New Jersey mobster, as he struggles to balance his work life with his family life. The show is hailed as one of the best of all time for good reason.

Industry

If you enjoyed the workplace politics aspect of Succession, give Industry a try. This HBO series follows a group of young bankers in London who are all trying to become top performers at their finance firm. It’s close-knit and cutthroat, and things get complicated when business and pleasure start to mix.

The Morning Show

The Morning Show has a little bit of everything: workplace harassment, low ratings, competition, and drama. The Apple TV+ series follows a morning show that’s failing and the chaos that ensues when a head anchor is fired. Reese Witherspoon stars as a local news reporter who steps in to try and save the show.

The Politician

If you liked the high-stakes power plays of Succession, you might enjoy The Politician. The series follows a wealthy high schooler who is determined to become his school’s student body president — and eventually, the President of the United States. Payton Hobart will do whatever it takes to secure his future, no matter who he has to betray or manipulate.

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty

If you miss Succession’s behind-the-scenes drama, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty might scratch that itch. The series tells the story of the Lakers’ rise to glory starting in the late 1970s and features plenty of wheeling, dealing, and beefing between the team’s stars.
