Succession on Sky Atlantic Cast

The Roy Family Is Back — Here Are All of the Characters in Succession's Second Season

Aug 15 2019

If you missed the premiere of Sky Atlantic's Succession last year, there's no better time to catch up than now. The drama just returned for its second season, continuing the story of the dysfunctional Roy family and their international media conglomerate Waystar Royco. The sh*t really hits the fan during Shiv and Tom's wedding in the season one finale, and we can't imagine how the family drama will only continue to build in the second season. If you're wondering who's part of the cast for season two of the scandalous series, here are all of the new and returning characters you can expect to see this season.
