![]() ![]() That title refers to a list of Waystar executives who may or may not be retained after the acquisition goes through and to judge, Matsson and his GoJo team want to meet all of the Waystar top dogs. Even before Logan's abrupt death, Sandi and Stewy had convinced the Roy siblings that there was more money to be squeezed from Matsson and the GoJo deal by "Kill List," we see this squeeze in action at the GoJo executive retreat in Norway. Logan had cut a backroom deal for GoJo to acquire Waystar/Royco he's always been looking for a killer instinct to take his company over, and while he's never seemed to see it in his kids, maybe Matsson-the unpredictable entrepreneur who plays by his own rules-has it.īy the time we get to Season 4, Episode 5, titled "Kill List," the tension between the Roy kids (and the rest of Waystar/Royco) and Matsson has reached a new high. Of course, it was Matsson who turned the family business on its head in the tail end of Succession Season 3, when a series of meetings between him and Logan (Brian Cox) ultimately resulted not in the initial approach of Waystar/Royco buying GoJo, Matsson's trendy, buzzy, and successful streaming service, but, much to the Kendall, Roman, and Shiv's (Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook) surprise, the other way around. ![]() But it's the wild card, self-proclaimed tech disruptor Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) who may ultimately blow the family up for good. Obviously, outside forces have long managed to intervene in Roy family affairs: Stewy (Arian Moayed) and Sandy/Sandi Furness (Larry Pine/Hope Davis) have been a thorn in Waystar/Royco's side for the duration of the series, and people like Rhea Jarrell (Holly Hunter) and the entire Pierce family (led by Cherry Jones' Nan) have led to lots of business transaction drama. But while the final blows of this proto-Shakespearean saga will, of course, ultimately come down to those within the branches of the family tree, it seems like one outside force above the rest could ultimately cause a wrinkle in everyone's plans on the way to that final curtain call. The biggest conflicts on Successionhave-and always will be-those that take place within the Roy family.
