Triumphant finale: Succession clinches Best Drama Series at the Emmys

Succession won the Outstanding Drama Series award at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. While accepting the award, Jesse Armstrong, the creator of the show, mentioned HBO and thanked them.

Armstrong remarked:

"This wasn't necessarily an easy show to commission right at the very beginning."

Jesse Armstrong, during the Emmy acceptance speech, said:

"This is a show about family, but it’s also about when partisan politics and news coverage get intertwined with divisive right-wing politics. After four seasons of satire, that’s a problem I understand we have now fixed."

HBO was popular at the Emmy Awards this year. The show has been nominated for a total of 75 awards over the years, which is impressive.
