HBO’s Succession has provided us with the most despicable, yet equally fascinating family in TV history. It’s an almost universally accepted knowledge that running a business with one’s kin can often erect familial quagmires, but Succession goes through all highs of successes and lows of failures to sketch out a compelling picture of what it would seem like. The familial aspect of the show is crucial to its success. It allows for a heightened drama through exploitation of relationships and revelation of their most petty selves. Indeed, the Roy’s are a train wreck that you just can’t take your eyes off of. But keeping track of such a large and chaotic family can be quite difficult, so here’s a brief rundown of all the important Roy family members who have appeared in the show.
From its formidable commander, Logan Roy, to his awkward great-nephew Greg Hirsch, and everyone in between, this is Succession’s Roy family tree.
