Succession won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 2023.
The HBO satirical drama follows the Roy family, owners of the global Waystar Royco media conglomerate, as they fight over control and succession. Jesse Armstrong created the series, which stars Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew Macfadyen. Its fourth and final season supplied the episodes considered for the 2023 ceremony.
At the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, Succession won Outstanding Drama Series for the third time. The series had previously taken the prize in 2020 and 2022. Its 2023 victory was part of a strong night that also included acting wins for Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew Macfadyen, plus awards for writing and directing.
The award is sometimes confused with the year a season aired. The fourth season premiered in 2023, but the ceremony honoring it was held in January 2024 after a schedule delay. The category recognizes the television drama judged best for that Emmy eligibility cycle.
