And as we’ve repeated often, now that “Succession” is gone, it feels like the show is about to finally have its moment on mainstream TV beyond just adoration of critics. Some of its cast have become big, up-and-coming stars, Marisa Abela, who starred in “Back To Black,” and Myha’la Herrold, known for “Bodies Bodies Bodies.” The show also features Harry Lawtey, David Jonsson, and Ken Leung, and in three seasons, they are joined by “Games Of Thrones” star Kit Harington and “Barry” actress Sarah Goldberg.
