Succession gives a brilliant example of how a screenwriter adapts a mogul.

Rupert Murdoch is the controversial billionaire owner of Fox and Newscorp. Succession, produced by screenwriter Jesse Armstrong and filmmaker Adam McKay, is loosely inspired by the Murdoch family, Jesse Armstrong’s early ‘The Murdochs’ screenplay, King Lear and Citizen Kane.

At the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, Succession won 10 times. At the Golden Globes it won Best Television Series, Best Actor (Kieran Culkin), Best Actress (Sarah Snook) and best Supporting Actor (Matthew Macfayden).

Succession stars Brian Cox as Logan Roy, Sarah Snook as Shiv, Jeremy Strong as Kendall, Kieran Culkin as Roman, Alan Ruck as Connor and Nicholas Braun as Cousin Greg.

Nicholas Britell composed the score and Succession theme song.

And it all started with Rupert Murdoch.
