11 Beautiful Succession Filming Locations You Can Visit IRL
This post was originally published on this site
It will be (family) business as usual when Succession’s contentious Roy clan returns for the fourth and final season of the HBO series on March 26. Perpetually discontent siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), Shiv (Sarah Snook), and Connor (Alan Ruck) aren’t likely to accept being excluded from the merger their media-mogul father Logan (Brian Cox)—with an assist from Shiv’s husband Tom (Matthew Macfadyen)—has orchestrated with GoJo streaming CEO Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård).
But internecine power struggles among this privileged company have their perks. Rather than taking place in dull corporate boardrooms, the battles over Logan’s C-suite have played out in glamorous locations befitting a billionaire and his entitled kids. Ahead of this season’s premiere—with a trailer that hints at destinations including a Pacific Palisades mansion and Matsson’s home turf of Norway—we tour some of the series’ top filming spots that are open to the public or available for rent.
Villa La Foce, Chianciano Terme, Siena, Italy
This famous 3,500-acre estate in southern Tuscany, with its lush lawns, clipped hedges, and pine stands, is said to have Italy’s most beautiful gardens—and boasts the first cypress-lined lanes designed by famous English landscape gardener Cecil Pinsent. Though the property can accommodate up to 24 guests, only some Roys bedded down there during their mother Lady Caroline Collingwood’s (Harriet Walker) destination wedding in season three.
Also notable about the Renaissance mansion in Val d’Orcia is the role it played in World War II, when its owners, Iris Origo and her husband Antonio Origo, offered refuge to children and escaped prisoners of war.
Villa Cetinale, Sovicille, Siena, Italy
