After a long wait, last week Succession was given a Season 3 release date of October 17.

HBO has released a trailer for the third season and Adrien Brody, Alexander Skarsgard, and Hope Davis have been introduced.

In the new season, the Roy family picks sides in the showdown between Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) and Logan (Brian Cox). Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) tells Kendall he’s the No. 1 trending topic on social media and that the Pope is following him on Twitter.

Other highlights of the trailer include FBI agents going in on Waystar Royco, a crowd protesting the company’s cruise ship sexual misconduct scandal, and Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfayden) offering Greg fake cyanide capsules. By the end of the trailer, Logan says he’ll be going “full, f***in’ beast” in his battle against Kendall.

The series won seven Emmys last year and was created by Jesse Armstrong, who also showruns and executive produces with Adam McKay, Frank Rich, Kevin Messick, Jane Tranter, Mark Mylod, Tony Roche, Scott Ferguson, Jon Brown, Lucy Prebble, Will Tracy, and Will Ferrell.

Also starring in the series are Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Hiam Abbass, Petr Friedman, Alan Ruck, J. Smith-Cameron, and Arian Moayed.
