CreatorJesse Armstrong

Aging media titan Logan Roy sits atop Waystar Royco, a global empire of news and entertainment, and his four grown children circle him like sharks, each desperate to inherit the throne. As their father's health falters and his intentions stay deliberately unreadable, the siblings scheme, betray, and humiliate one another in a relentless contest for power they're each too damaged to actually wield. Beneath the private jets and boardroom knife fights lies a savage family tragedy about love twisted into leverage. Acidly funny and Shakespearean in scope, the series is a merciless anatomy of wealth, dynasty, and the corrosive hunger to win a father's approval.
