In the grand finale of HBO’s Succession, who ended up sitting on the corporate throne of Waystar Royco?

In a twist of events that could only be expected in the world of Succession, Tom “>The Underdog”> Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) ascends to the throne of Waystar Royco as CEO in the series finale, titled “>With Open Eyes,”> which aired on May 28, 2023. Shiv Roy, initially considered the favorite for the CEO position, was sidelined when tech mogul Lukas Matsson had a change of heart and saw Tom as a more pliable choice. Meanwhile, Kendall Roy was left staring blankly at the water.
