Succession

On his 80th birthday, media magnate Logan Roy, whose imminent retirement was thought to be a given, shocks his family by announcing he's staying on indefinitely as CEO of Waystar Royco.

Logan's incapacitation sets off a heated succession debate among his children, as the board rushes to inform the media about leadership contingencies before the stock market opens.

With Waystar's stock plunging to dangerous lows, Kendall is confronted with a major crisis involving a secret bank debt.

With the company's annual foundation gala fundraiser approaching, and his dad out of the picture, Kendall polishes up his speech while enlisting an on-air personality from the Waystar's ATV Networks to accompany him.

After hearing Logan's plan to expand to local TV, Kendall begins to plot a vote of no confidence against his father.
