Succession makes Emmy history

A still from Succession

Satirical-comedy-drama series Succession has made history at the 2023 Emmy Awards - Not one, but three actors of the American show will compete for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series title. Furthermore, Succession has also received the most number of nominations - 27 - for its final season.

The third season of the 13 Emmy Award-winning show was released in 2022. According to Deadline, while Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong have already competed in this category twice, they will be pitted against Kieran Culkin this year. Should Strong win, he will take home his second Lead Actor trophy this year, after previously winning in 2020.

This marks Culkin's first foray into the Lead Actor category, though he was previously nominated twice for the Supporting Actor. Last year, he competed alongside Matthew Macfadyen and Nicholas Braun, and Macfadyen prevailed.
