The final season of Succession has reached yet another audience milestone.
Season 4 episodes are currently averaging about 7.9M viewers across platforms, according to HBO. That’s about 10% ahead of the 7.2M audience average for Season 3.
Sunday’s viewing of Episode 5 held even with the previous week’s series-high audience of 2.6M. That number is up about 4% over Episode 3’s viewership of 2.5M and 11% above the Season 4 premiere episode’s 2.3M — both of which were also series highs at the time.

After a solid premiere week for Barry, Season 4 held strong once again with 606,000 total same-day viewers across platforms, HBO said.

They’ve now been watched by an average of about 2.5M people, which is nearly four times their same-day audience. Episode 1 debuted to 710,000 viewers and Episode 2 drew 550,000 viewers across HBO Max and linear telecasts.
The Roy family saga picks up as the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) looms.

A hopefully Roy-esque power struggle will ensue as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is threatened.
