7 Lesser-Known TV Series to Fill Your Succession Void After Season 4 Finale
The iconic show may have just ended, but that doesn't mean you can't get your Succession fix.
The Roy family saga just ended, and millions of fans around the world are wondering how to fill the void left by Succession.
If politics, finance, and good old-fashioned family intrigue are your thing, the seven shows below are perfect for scratching that Succession itch.
The Thick of It (2005–2012)
This hilarious British comedy about a government minister struggling to keep it together was written by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong in collaboration with the great Armando Iannucci. The end result, full of profanity and great humor, certainly shows both sides of these two ingenious writers.
Veep (2012–2019)

Iannucci's own HBO comedy about the Vice President's hilarious struggle to become president is already considered one of the most iconic comedies of the 2010s, elevating Julia Louis-Dreyfus to superstar status, but a lot of people are still sleeping on this wonderful show.
Homeland (2011–2020)
If international intrigue is your thing, there's no better binge-watch option than Homeland, which follows Claire Danes' troubled CIA analyst as she navigates the complicated world of politics and espionage. The show is realistic to the core, putting films like Mission Impossible and the James Bond franchise to shame.
The Americans (2013–2018)
FX's cult favorite about two Russian mole agents pretending to be a normal American family was never a ratings juggernaut, but critics loved every single season of this realistic spy drama and urged fans to give it a shot.
Billions (2016–present)
Showtime's financial drama is incredibly realistic and compelling, introducing fans to morally gray characters who will do anything to make a little more money for themselves. Sounds a bit like Succession, don't you think?
Halt & Catch Fire (2014–2017)
Anyone who thinks it's impossible to make an interesting show about last century's computer programmers will be instantly humbled by this AMC series. Every episode of it is written with such attention to detail that even Succession will have a hard time keeping up.
Patriot (2015–2018)
Amazon Prime's most underrated show is a clever mix of comedy and drama that follows a really unlucky intelligence officer who finds himself in all kinds of trouble as he tries to fulfill his work assignments. We implore you to give Patriot a chance!
