Succession: Opening Credits and Theme Song (Season 3) | HBO

This theme song is so appropriate - it feels sophisticated, chaotic and sinister at the same time just like the characters of the show

[@alicemeraviglia8863]

It's perfect.

I am a big fan of opening themes and HBO is so good at this. "Succession" has one of my all-time favorites. The music, the pacing, the imagery are perfection. Composer Nicholas Britell won the 2019 Emmy for this. I look forward to it, every time.

[@SuCKeRPunCH187]

game of thrones had a great opening so did the sopranos.

[@DRE_vid]

Loved Game of Thrones opening so much. Never skipped that one either.

[@isadoramoscardini6393]

Agree about HBO opening themes! Succession, Big Little Lies and Game of Thrones are some of my favorites!

[@mmyilmazyurt]

True Detective season 1 is literally one of the best! Succession's melody is so beautiful as well.

[@OaktownGirl]

Deadwood and Rome are on the top of my All Time list. Looking forward to seeing how the Game of Thrones prequel series opening titles will compare to the original - the bar was set so high!

[@gr8esthandleever]

As soon as this show ends its run, I need a prequel show about Logan Roy. The people deserve to see Logan in his prime.

[@strangething7379]

That could be cool but I feel like that might be less fun than this bc 1. we already know who "wins" it's logan, so a lot of the suspense from this show wouldn't translate over 2. A lot of the fun of this show is watching these old traditions come under very heavy scrutiny in a modern-day, tech-based culture (ie Cruises, the Wolf Pack, how Logan speaks to pretty much everyone). A prequel would undercut alot of that

[@hassambitw]

@@strangething7379 Unless they decide to make it something like Better Call Saul? It'd still be very interesting

[@spen6136]

That would be an interesting idea. Maybe see some of the naive choices he made in the past that resulted in the hard shell we see now.

[@Lifeoftheparty8290]

It won’t have Brian Cox so it wouldn’t work nobody can replace him

[@spen6136]

I agree that he is an amazing actor and totally helps carry a majority of the show. Just saying it would be interesting if they tried it. It would need to have great writers/actors though 🙂

[@frediedidier7558]

Season 3 finale is one of the best things I have ever seen on TV. Masterpiece

[@vaishnoo1168]

I thought it was season 2

[@hothotheat3000]

The start of the theme is the public facade of the family, and then 0:28 kicks in and it’s the dark side, the sadness, scheming, abuse, pain, and dysfunction that happens when the media isn’t there. And then 1:11 is the mask going back on for the public. It’s a deeply evocative piece of music.

[@ramialjohani3033]

👍 true. I want ask the intro video based on witch family , because I believe it is true intro video

[@jwatwater]

Agreed. I already know what the show is about, just from watching this intro. Quick Google confirmed. Wealthy media family, Dynasty vibes. A1 intro.

[@Notolderthanyou]

@@ramialjohani3033 the people in the intro are just actors

[@steruss9481]

The descending scale motif, used through out, to me symbolises the fall of the family, and the decline as a business as the landscape moves away from them.

[@Major98]

A good opening theme like this one sets the vibe and tone of the show right off the bat

[@tvsrn44]

I love the easter eggs in the intro. You can see the dynamics of the children with the dad, also Logan is perpetually unhappy like even with his achievements. He has his moments alone, he knows he’s not been a good father/husband. The woman on the chair sitting all grumpy is probably Caroline and them at their breaking point in their marriage. Kendal is probably the one with the tennis bat, clearly being forced to be good at everything. Shiv has been an observant all along, playing with her pony but silently trying to understand everything around her. The newer bits come in clear film, showing the legacy he’s left but with a tinch of darkness. The final shots are him with his family where he feels disconnected followed by his older self with his colleagues who he trusts more than his own family, leaving him alone. And it all happens because of the abandonment he’s inflicted onto his kids in the final cut. Masterpiece 🌷

[@agarsrish]

Very well summarized!! (And on point: Con is not really seen/mentioned in the trailer, and your comment)

[@margarethmichelina5146]

I think the boy who plays tennis is Roman because he looks shorter as Roman is the shortest and the kid who smoke cigar on young age must be Kendall because the kid has a long face like Kendall and Kendall is the only family who smokes a lot and later becoming a drug addict. If you pause at 0:01, Connor moved away from his half sibling showing he feels isolated from the beginning and then the boys left and Shiv was left behind alone, looking confused where did they go showing she's already getting ignored for being a girl.

[@X2X2X438]

[@trentstrickland3534]

The most underrated part of the intro is those fox news style nonsense headlines. My favourite is still "gender fluid illegals may be entering country twice"

[@gethaunted]

One of the producers/writers on the show is Will Tracy, former editor-in-chief of The Onion and Onion News Network. Wouldn’t be surprised if the chyrons were his

You can really feel the enormous wealth & privilege and in the opening theme. The show is more of a slow burn & has a lot of satire components and you can in theory see that they are rich with great resources; However in this you can actually feel how much of a differed world it is especially in terms of background & being brought up in high society like an alternate world.
