Emmy Awards 2023: How many Emmys did Succession get nominated for? 

The power-hungry Roy family has taken over the 2023 Emmy Awards after dominating the television space for the past two seasons. The fourth and final season of Succession has won 27 nominations in total at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards as announced on July 12, 2023.

Created by Jesse Armstrong, Succession is a satire on the power-hungry business class featuring the characters Logan Roy (Brian Cox), Connor Roy (Alan Ruck), Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong), Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin), and Siobhan Roy (Sarah Snook). The official synopsis for the fourth season on HBO's website reads,

"The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) moves ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed."

The crowd favourite will lead the Emmy 2023 nominations with The Last of Us, The White Lotus, and Ted Lasso bagging 24, 23, and 21 nominations respectively.
