Succession, which broke the record for most Golden Globe TV award nominations for its fourth and final season, took home the best drama award, along with three wins for cast members.

First-time Globe winners Matthew Macfadyen, who portrays Tom Wambsgans, husband of Roy media family member Shiv Roy, and Kieran Culkin, who plays the youngest Roy sibling, won for best male supporting actor and best male actor in a drama series. Sarah Snook, who plays Shiv Roy, won best female actor for a television drama.

Filled with mixed emotions by the HBO show’s last awards season, Succession actor Jeremy Strong, who portrays the sibling Kendall Roy, called the win “bittersweet”.

Succession depicts the struggle for power among members of the wealthy, back-stabbing Roy family. The gripping drama series won five Golden Globes prior to this, including its first best drama award in 2020.
