HBO's hit drama series "Succession" is coming to an end after its fourth season, according to an announcement made on Wednesday. The show, which follows the story of the Roy family, a wealthy and powerful media dynasty, has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase since its debut in 2018. The decision to end the show after its upcoming season was reportedly made by the show's creator and executive producer, Jesse Armstrong, in consultation with the network.

Fans of the show are sure to be disappointed by the news, but HBO has a history of ending shows on a high note, rather than letting them drag on past their prime. In recent years, the network has brought a number of popular shows to a close, including "Game of Thrones," "Veep," and "Boardwalk Empire." HBO has also announced a number of highly anticipated new projects in the works, including a "Game of Thrones" spinoff series, "House of the Dragon," and a new drama series from "The Sopranos" creator David Chase.

The fourth and final season of "Succession" is set to begin production later this year, with a premiere date yet to be announced. The show's cast includes Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, and Alan Ruck, among others. It remains to be seen how the series will come to a close, but fans can likely expect plenty of drama, backstabbing, and high-stakes power plays from the Roy family in their final outing.

In summary, HBO has announced that its critically acclaimed drama series "Succession" will come to an end after its upcoming fourth season.
