Viewership figures are based on Nielsen and first party data, per HBO’s release.

In addition, viewing of Succession on HBO Max has been accelerating in anticipation of the fourth and final season, with last week’s viewership up more than four times the previous week.
Created by Jesse Armstrong, the ten-episode fourth and final season kicked off Sunday, March 26, and will continue to roll out each Sunday on HBO and HBO Max at 9/8c.
