Streaming News: ‘Succession’ to End with Season 4, ‘Glass Onion’ Director’s Commentary, ‘Bono and the Edge’ on Disney+

In a surprising announcement on Thursday, Jesse Armstrong — the creator of Emmy-winning HBO drama “Succession” — announced the upcoming fourth season of the show will be its last. The high-stakes family drama will return on March 26 as the Roys move forward with selling their media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech billionaire Lukas Matsson. While it is surprising to see a show at the top of the industry decide to shutter so early, Armstrong and star Brian Cox have been hinting at it for weeks. HBO head Casey Bloys has always maintained the decision to end “Succession” would be Armstrong’s alone.

This week, Peacock released the trailer for the true-crime doc “Who Killed Robert Wone?” The 2006 case has stumped investigators and forensic experts for years.

The problem for detectives: The evidence doesn’t add up. Yet no one has ever been charged with his murder.

The Stephen King horror novel “It” will become a prequel series for HBO Max.
