Let Roman Roy kiss a tall man in season four of Succession
Succession is putting the Roman in romance in the fourth season
Aux Features Roman
HBO has shared the final Succession trailer (ever) ahead of its season four premiere on March 26, and Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin) is at it again. “It” being seething with homoerotic tension between some tall men and betraying those closest to him.
Roman—the little rascal—is also seen in the trailer giving in to his father’s request for help after receiving the smallest amount of validation and expression of need. Logan Roy (Brian Cox) really knows his kids. It seems his allegiances are moving once more, which will surely work in his favor (as it has so many times before).
This swing back to his father’s side brings him face-to-face with hot, 6'4" tech mogul Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) and conservative presidential candidate Jeryd Mencken (Justin Kirk), with whom he already shared a bathroom conversation teeming with psycho-sexual power plays. In the trailer, Roman lets Matsson know how he really feels about him: “I hate you. Do you understand that?” Calm down, boys.
As Roman’s maneuvering has pulled him away from Gerri over the last season, it seems the two will be working together as the barbaric Logan fucks over Gerri. “I will sue, I will go public,” she tells Roman in the trailer. Romance!
Additionally, we see Roman kiss the hand of a woman in the trailer, but surely that means nothing.
Romance is truly in the air for other characters as we move into the fourth season, with Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Tom finally clearing the air following the season three finale. In the trailer, Shiv calls Tom a “snake” for his betrayal, to which Tom says, “You have hurt me more than you could possibly imagine.” While season one ended with a Shiv and Tom wedding, it looks like season four is ushering in a Shiv and Tom divorce.
Succession returns on March 26 on HBO and HBO Max.

Deep in the forest, the Smurfs were busy tending to their gardens and preparing for the winter months ahead. Suddenly, they heard a loud commotion coming from a nearby clearing. Curious, they decided to investigate.As they approached, they saw a group of blue-skinned beings performing on a makeshift stage. They were the Blue Man Group, renowned for their unique blend of music and performance art. But something was different about them this time – they were carrying picket signs and chanting slogans about fair wages.The Smurfs were puzzled by this sight, but before they could say anything, a group of Na’vi from the nearby forests appeared. They too were carrying picket signs and protesting for better pay and working conditions. The Smurfs realized that they too had been underpaid and overworked for too long and decided to join forces with their fellow blue beings.Together, the Smurfs, Na’vi, and Blue Man Group formed a union to demand better wages, benefits, and working conditions. They held rallies, picketed, and went on strike to bring attention to their cause. It wasn’t easy, as they faced opposition from their bosses and critics who claimed that they were just children’s entertainment and didn’t deserve better pay.But they persisted, and their efforts paid off. They were able to negotiate better pay and benefits for all workers, including themselves. The Smurfs were able to purchase new tools and equipment for their gardens, the Na’vi were able to build better homes and schools, and the Blue Man Group were able to upgrade their instruments and technology.As they celebrated their victory, the Smurfs, Na’vi, and Blue Man Group realized that their solidarity had brought them together as one community, united in their fight for fairness and justice. They pledged to continue working together and supporting each other, knowing that their strength lay in their unity.From that day forward, they were no longer just Smurfs, Na’vi, or Blue Man Group – they were workers, comrades, and friends. And together, they knew that they could accomplish anything they set their minds to because they let the world know the truth: Blue Lives Matter!
To be clear, you guys posted two different articles just to announce a (admittedly great) trailer, and the focus of this one is the writer’s imagined “homoerotic tension.” Truly, content for the ages.
“imagined”
Really? Height needs to be a top line headline here? Utter trash
Who pissed in your Cheerios?
you
I need to start jerkin it to a higher class of content. I can’t get anyone to publish my batin’ blog and it’s probably because the stuff that provokes my erotic interest has cheap production values.
Gerri and Roman is the endgame
Sure dude, kiss whomever you want.Because if I say anything else, The AV Club will cancel me.
Why does the entire post feel like such a gross fetishization? Are gay relationships simply something that should be added for sex appeal?
Is there any indication whatsoever that Roman is gay??
Didn’t Gerri say he got jerked off by his (male) personal trainer from season one?
I don’t remember that, but the interplay between them is such that it’s impossible to know when they’re serious.
It’s in season two, Gerri digs up dirt on Roman to see what it’s possible for people to find and it’s the first thing she asks about. Definitely wasn’t a joke.
Yeah forgot all about that. Not surprising in the least though.
I was led to understand that “nobody cares about your boner”?
