SCOTTISH actor Brian Cox is explosive in the new trailer for hit HBO show Succession, which was released on Tuesday.
There is no official release date for the fourth series of the Emmy award-winning drama although it is expected to be available to watch next year.
The teaser shows Cox as Waystar Royco CEO Logan Roy standing in a newsroom as he shouts “I am going to build something better, faster, leaner, wilder. I love it here! I f***ing love it!”
Not much is revealed in the trailer although it appears that relations in the Roy family are as fractious as ever, with Cox’s patriarch unwilling to cede control.
At one point in the trailer he states: “This is not the end. We’re killing the opposition.”
An official synopsis for the upcoming series reads: "In the 10-episode season four, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson moves ever closer.
"The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed."

The synopsis concluded: "A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed."
According to Variety, some of the series will take place in the mountains of Norway as opposed to the usual setting of Manhattan.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
