Tempers are running hot, and the very fate of Waystar Royco appears to be in limbo, in the full trailer for Season 3 of HBO’s acclaimed family drama Succession.

Picking up some time after the press conference that ended Season 2, and in which Kendall (played by Jeremy Strong) very publicly dropped a dime on his dad Logan (Brian Cox), everyone and anyone is jockeying for security if not running for cover in the two-minute trailer — to the point that even Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) believes that cyanide pills may come into play!

The Emmy-winning drama is set to return Sunday, Oct. 17 at 9/8c — a full two years (!) after its Season 2 finale. Season 3 will consist of nine episodes (down one from its previous 10-episode orders in Seasons 1 and 2).

“Ambushed by his rebellious son Kendall at the end of Season 2, Logan Roy begins Season 3 in a perilous position, scrambling to secure familial, political, and financial alliances,” reads the official logline. “Tensions rise as a bitter corporate battle threatens to turn into a family civil war.”

Returning cast members include Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, Peter Friedman, J. Smith-Cameron, Dagmara Dominczyk, Justine Lupe, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Arian Moayed, Harriet Walter, James Cromwell, Natalie Gold, Juliana Canfield, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Zoë Winters and Jeannie Berlin.

New additions for Season 3, meanwhile, include Sanaa Lathan (as well-connected New York lawyer Lisa Arthur), Hope Davis (as Sandi Furness, daughter to Logan Roy’s long-time rival Sandy Furness), Alexander Skarsgård (as confrontational tech founder/CEO Lukas Matsson), Linda Emond (as senior White House aide Michelle-Anne Vanderhoven), Jihae (as high-powered PR consultant Berry Schneider), Adrien Brody (as billionaire activist Josh Aaronson), and Dasha Nekrasova.

Rise in international tourists cited by embattled N.B. minister was seen in all provinces
New Brunswick's tourism minister Tammy Scott-Wallace has been citing growth in visitors from Britain, France and Germany in 2023 as evidence that departmental activities, like a trip she and others took to London and Paris last year, pay dividends for taxpayers. But figures suggest European visits to New Brunswick in 2023 grew at a slower pace than in the rest of Canada and increases that did occur were exaggerated by COVID-related travel restrictions that suppressed visits in 2022."Results have
