Succession: Opening Credits And Theme Song (Season 2 Clip) | HBO
Never skip the intro. Bask in the glory of this theme. Every time.
Succession is the only tv show that i never skipped the intro just fascinating.....
Same here doja!!😎
Exactly
This and sopranos were two themes I could never skip
i can't skip intros of most of the hbo shows, they know what they're doing.
HBO seriously win when it comes to originals. Netflix, Amazon ain’t got nothing. They never fail with og series
Netflix and Amazon Prime have a few good ones, but yeah they're not always a guaranteed success like HBO original.
HBO won that battle 20 years ago with The sopranos and the wire. Even if HBO didn’t ever release anything ever that, those two would still shatter anything Netflix and Amazon have produced. Amazing that there still is boardwalk empire, true detective, Rome and of course Succession.
Yup, as you said. This series is total gangsta stuff
amazon has a few good shows. it used to have fleabag which is very good. when i watched it i thought it was an hbo show
The thing is Netflix and prime shows are made for only streaming. So, they're full of cliffhanger moments and there's a lot of pressure on the writers to keep viewers engaged as most internet audience have a very short attention span. But HBO shows are the real deal, characters are properly carved out, Stories are slow burn and offer adequate rewards for the patient viewers. These shows arer great for your mind, personality, and soul.
just a reminder: Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age.
Tom??😎
In the big city?!
FYI: Connor Roy is the eldest son. Not Kendall. Its Connor! HE IS THE ELDEST SON!
Funny thing how Alan Ruck is just 10 years younger that Brian Cox
Connor Roy has no comment
I love how it merges a classical orchestra with contemporary 808s and trap bass. Perfectly suits the theme of the show in which a CEO is looking for someone to to succeed him.
Are you a bot?
@@itsme123669 I dont think so. Bots aren't capable of loving.
This wins best theme song ever. And the editing... the "brokenness" of the family... it's just perfection.
Family guy did this and killed it
I would argue Ms America on Hulu was another amazing theme, not an original piece although since I’m a 90’s baby I thought it was at first lol, but it was used so well and I never got sick of it. Same with the Suits theme. And Daisy Jones & the Six… okay maybe there’s quite a few themes I appreciate I’m so glad entertainment didn’t get rid of them completely over the years :)
Game Of Thrones
Tough choice between this, The Sopranos, or Game of Thrones... HBO always nail it
Six feet under was another brilliant HBO series with excellent opening theme on a bizarre broken family.
I feel sophisticated, elegant, luxurious and powerful. Listening to this bad ass jam....
while working my $11.50 an hour job.
Iron Flower same:)
Lucky you. My job pays me 3 dollars an hour
Well in terms of world population you are still in the top 20% so congrats wealthy man.
Bro, you're doing SO FINE. In Brazil, I'm working for the equivalent of 1,10 dollar an hour
We're going to have to ask you to go ahead and move your desk down into the basement ok. That way you can exterminate any rat problem that we might have going on. Ok. Terrific.
I want this song played at my funeral. More specifically, when it's revealed that I have a secret illegitimate love-child who will inherit my entire fortune
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just died
NOOOOOOO. Spoiler alert!! 😭😭
@@grichkatayou7558 well well well, do I have a funeral song for you
Filthy rich, new Zealand tv series, comes on Fox 2020
Those who don't appreciate this piece, stand in the corner.
We're going to play a little fun game called boar on the floor.
BOAR ON THE FLOOR ! BOAR ON THE FLOOR !
Need to feed the piggies
OINK FOR YOUR SAUSAGES, PIGGIES!
- Logan Roy
That's my sausage!
It's just a show but can you imagine want some people will do FOR power, for people IN power, or in hopes to GET power. That Boar On The Floor was outrageous. A high stakes gang initiation...
0:39 to 0:46 the part where they look around aimlessly for thier father symbolizes so much of what's going on currently in the show. Even as kids they were lost without him around.
Yes! I also like how they're riding on the elephant- getting jostled. It should be glamorous fun, but the kids seem terrified and miserable. I'm guessing Logan is the elephant, so to speak.
I have to comment how brilliant that 808 bass sits under the orchestra
@@rwh1818It's also a symbolism that Logan is "The Elephant in The Room"
I just love how this theme song and TV show makes the lives of the superrich so alien and unhuman - although at times media makes it look like it, these people are very little to nothing like us.
I’d argue that they are like us but were just molded by abuse. Yes they’re pampered and feel above everyone but at the same time they’re brought down so low so often that they DO feel human a lot of the time. It’s just the situations and circumstances they find themselves in that change how you perceive it.
They mean more to us than most regular humans.
@@thewage7108 In the context of the show certainly, there’s an irony to how society would predict their lives be extremely enjoyable and we should be envious of their lifestyle, whereas in reality they have become desensitised to how comfortable their lives are and therefore cannot appreciate their wealth, and on top of that are subject to a great deal of stress and mental abuse to the point where the viewer is grateful that they are not them. It’s probably quite an accurate representation of the lives of some of the super rich.
They are nothing like us. These people live in a different universe from most people. They are sociopaths and Succession shows that perfectly.
@@ollie4022 You're naturally expected to earn or get ahead than what you have already gained. Thus a wage employee becoming millionaire and then billionaire is a gradual uphill journey. How exactly you continue to push yourself when you're already super rich? Either you end up wasting money in debauchery or become a hard cold calculating individual who competes for the slightest sliver.
How did this series not get more traction with season 1? The show is fantastic.
The content matter isn’t a lot of people’s cup of tea unfortunately. I love the amazing writing in this show.
Too intelligent for too many people.
It's not wildly popular but it picked up more viewers as it went along
Too good for mass...
LACKS SEX
🎉🎉🎉Congratulations to composer Nicholas Britell 🎉🎉🎉
He won an Emmy 🏆 tonight for creating this beautiful mix of notes.
His work is brilliant.
I thought this song just took a sample of heart and soul that you play on the piano as a kid
Nicholas Britell won for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.
Really? I love it
I agree that it’s a brilliant theme (I’m late to the Succession party so caught up when Season 3 started) but I’m not sure why the fairly blatant Beethoven riff isn’t ever mentioned, even in an article featuring “an analysis by a classical musician”…
Always shocked to see Will Ferrell’s name listed as an executive producer
Yeah
@DooDooBumMan yeah, but you also can see a little bit of his dark/sarcastic humour on Succession script
I think if someone like him invests in a show, in part It's because has some identification on it
I remember seeing this intro for the first time and when i saw Will Ferrells name i was like ''i hope this is not some bs comedy im about to watch'', sure thing it wasnt
@@walter2709 yup
I believe Adam McKay directed at least one episode, and he and Will Ferrell are friends as well as long time business partners in their now shuttered Gary Sanchez Productions company.
I love how they presented the names of the stars based on the alphabetical order of their last names. It really shows how much they emphasized on the process of 'succession'.
Never noticed this but brilliant thinking
I don’t think so
OH.
@@rohitkumara.s2399 yes it is. Only of the actors, not the other people responsible for the making of the show...
This is a contractual thing with SAG (actors union) for ensemble shows. Usually the order is determined by star power/role, it's all negotiated. In a show like this where there is no one star, they just do it alphabetically.
The opening credits clearly show that the kids grew up themselves without their father caring around them, making them emotionally vulnerable and indifferent.
Is that how lack of fatherly care manifests? Emotional vulnerability and indifference?
The children watching the back of a man's head as he walks away to more work, again and again, a faceless authority that was too busy to concern with childish matters. This resonates for me that had a workaholic dad, this is what I knew of him more than anything else. There are no emotions from me or him, there is simply nothing there.
I love how, in the shot at 1:13, the building really looks like a ship emerging from the mist.
Wow. So intricate details.
hey that's pretty cool
Once HBO make an intro, they always make a gem
What abnout FOX
Yep, Sopranos and GOT being examples
True detective
0:24 this shot is so beautiful.
Yes
I love the easter eggs in the intro. You can see the dynamics of the children with the dad, also Logan is perpetually unhappy like even with his achievements. In that little shot of him with the curtains you see that he does feel disappointed as a father/husband. The woman on the chair sitting all grumpy is probably Carolina and them at their breaking point in their marriage. Kendal is probably the one with the tennis bat, clearly being forced to be good at everything. Shiv has been an observant all along, playing with her pony but silently trying to understand everything around her. The newer bits come in clear film, showing the legacy he’s left but with a tinch of darkness. The final shots are him with his family where he feels disconnected followed by his older self with his colleagues who he trusts more than his own family, leaving him alone. And it all happens because of the abandonment he’s inflicted onto his kids in the final cut.
Masterpiece 🌷
This is a brilliant analysis! I noticed Shiv especially, observing the others around her
2$ Wish intro analysis
I don't think it is supposed to be them. The four children never were roughly at the same age. Also there is no reason for super 8 footage at that time - it would have been Hi8 video when they were that age. Much more it is a general expressionist idea of rich families being disconnected - the 16mm footage implies that it is more than one generation. Children who seemingly have everything but when looking closer are all on their own.
@@Schmidtelpunkt But the girl the videos has red hair too which may imply that maybe those were footages from their childhood?
@@tvsrn44 The family is indeed loosely styled after the Roys - four children of the correct gender. But I don't think they are meant to be them as I doubt the intro creators knew the plots of the coming seasons. Therefore they would not know how much backstory would have to be invented. So if they had taken that specific family in an identifiable way, they would have run the danger of contradicting the content of the show. So instead they went for generic rich people entertainment, a generic retro look and generic actors, all of which could stand in for every generic rich family. The important point to come across is the absence of love and warmth, which is what makes that family a perfect stand in for the Roys, no matter how much of the details don't match.
8 people are mad they aren’t inheriting their dad’s company.
Nichole Lmaoooo
This intro is just fascinating, the way they captured a glimpse of past and reveal the present at the same time.
I agree. It’s a work of art, this slideshow we flip through, suggesting in just scant minutes the otherworldly perks and the soul-deadening strain of growing up so wealthy. There’s something brilliant in the shot of the four kids well-dressed and lined up, projecting confidence until you notice how uncomfortable their stances seem to be, their awkward feet.
With the music and these images, I find an empathy for them that their adult selves makes almost wholly inaccessible: a sort of “Rosebud” epiphany.
@Peter Albert Except it isn't them. It's meant to represent them for sure but the age differences aren't right, the clothing is decades out of date, and the father looks nothing like Logan Roy. There are clips of Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, and a Logan-like figure in there, but most of the clips are just meant to represent the Roys and aren't actually them.
Yep, one of the intros managing to capture the essence of the show - perhaps even better than the shows own description on HBO...
Like ocarina of time
@@peteralbert1485yes, and not to mention the dad seemed to have a world of his own, or deals behind closed door and not even his wife can reach him… a hint of tyranny among silver tea wares.
clips between an idyllic leisure country life to the noises of medias at big city.
Thank you, HBO, for these underrated masterpieces you keep putting out there and keeping the spirit of Television alive.
Love, from India.
To add to your point, I feel like this show has made its mark despite whether or not it gets cancelled prematurely.
@@crazyjoka12 Don't jinx it
well said
Kyle Daly It’s been renewed for a 3rd season. Cheers!
It's definitely not underrated. It has critical acclaim. Underwatched is the correct word.
This song is Killing the Business, and it should be Acknowledged ☝🏼
☝️
AND NOW THE HOLE WORLD CAN ACKNOWLEDGE ME ☝
I came here to mourn the ending. Such beautifully realized world, will definitely miss these characters but they're not serious people.
Nosy pedestrians.
I just finish season 2... what can I say. The first one was great, but this one is an absolute masterpiece! I haven't feel that since the Sopranos, and I was 20.
this
Just started watching this show bout a month ago mid 2nd season....fantastic writing....
There is one reason that I started to binge this show, and that reason is Tom.
To make a Tomlette...
@@kimberlyklaus7296 you need to break some Greggs
I love him! But I love Connor too! My favorites.
Same here lol
@@wew187 Gregg the egg 🥚
It’s elegant, high class, dramatic, yet childish at the same time
I love it. I’m going to watch the show now thanks to this
Congratulations on winning four Golden Globes! Well deserved, Succession crew!
It’s always easy to forget Will Ferrell is an executive producer on this show.
Intro is more focused on Siobhan. Last season it was more focused on Kendall.
I noticed that too - foreshadows the season a bit, but I'm all for it.
"me too" crise came, so they had to deal with it. The next step is Roman's coming out? lol. Anyway great show. This is art.
Great catch.
Tanmay Chhatbar Hmmm so perhaps Season 3 would be Roman ? All for it
Yeah what about next one?
00:28 - 00:45
now that is how an epic show must sound.
succession is pure class.
The only series intro on TV that I don't fast forward through.
So you haven't watched Dark?
Game of thrones ??
Breaking bad
True Detective Season One.
Narcos.
This is probably my favorite opening to a show, ever. It makes you feel powerful, it’s so cool but grand at the same time. Gets me hyped each episode
HBO never fails to make the most amazing theme songs, Sopranos, GoT, now Succession 🔥
True Detective & Westworld have sick intros too
I was a bit disappointed when the GoT intros started getting edited. I always enjoyed the flight over the map, making clear where everything was. Then again, the show started doing the same with everybody being wherever needed in the blink of an eye.
Soprans Theme Song was not original. "Woke up this morning" by Alabama 3. They were not, initially, notified of its use. Cha-ching!
To me, the circular aspects of the composition match the theme of intergenerational trauma and tragic fates. The return to the opening measures is like how the kids are stuck in the inescapable cycle.
John dies in game of thrones season 2
Go back and watch the opening credits for Season 1 and then watch this one. The greater emphasis on the daughter, Shiv, is quite pronounced.
My theory is this season is about fall of Shiv like last season was about Kendall
makes sense since kendall is absolutely done after that finale lmao
@@aadityabhattacharya That's interesting that you said "the fall of Shiv." So, you obviously don't believe things will turn out well for her.
@@eliudn.valdes2688 I don't think Kendall is done. Keep in mind, the only people who know about "the incident" in the Season 1 finale are a handful of people in his immediate family and his father's head of security. His siblings don't know. The Board of Directors doesn't know. And if Shiv fails, the father's only remaining logical successor is the one who overtly attempted to overthrow him - Kendall. Kendall's older brother has dreams of elective office and knows nothing about the business. Kendall's younger brother, Roman, is less competent sober than Kendall is when he's stoned.
@@mrcalista722 I think the world of succession is to cruel and cut throat for Roy Kids. Sure Shiv is the strongest of all 4 so maybe she will succeed
This is easily one of my favorite theme songs of all time. It’s catchy, and the instruments they incorporate in the intro are perfect. I love this show, and definitely recommend it.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE THEME SONG WITH EVERY SINGLE BIT OF MY HEART
its like if someone created the best masterpiece its so catchy and the scenes are just a perfect way to describe what happening in the series.
I will forever be chasing the high this song gives me 🎼
YES! EXACTLY! It melts my brain so perfectly and makes me feel euphoric.
Kis dies in season 1 epuislode 10.. dont tell anyone
You know it's a great opening when over a million people want to come here, just to watch it. Can't wait for season 4!
With so many dumb detective series popping up daily on Netflix it's good to have stuff like this on HBO.
Netflix goes for quantity. HBO is focused on quality, which kinda makes sense. That's their USP - "It's not TV, It's HBO"
I do think they should change it to "We hear for you"
@@adityamishra6509 really? I mean, HBO's show are prettier much TV, and do have a lot of focus on "quantity", you only have to watch major shows of the company to see that, like got or euphoria
HBO shows are usually more slow tempo if you compare to netflix.
Tales Hilaricki give one teen show on any other networks that looks visually or at least has really great story and dialogues like euphoria. and to say GoT was like any other tv shows, no wonder no other shows come close to it despite the disaster that is s8
Shhh Mindhunter is actually good
This theme is a grabber. I has an evil tinge to it..so dark. It really says it all about this captivating series..The photo montage is perfect in capturing the lifestyles...just a bit of a elegant white shoe while watching a son play tennis..the back of the head at the table. Just perfect.
The shot of Tower One close up, but still getting the other building in focus. That shot is amazing. The whole thing. These people aren't super old, they grew up in the 80s. But the shots of the kids and estate look like they're from 1940. It's the old rich. As if the rich rich are living in the luxury of the past.
Being british, that last sentence is so true- they most certainly are.
I don’t care what anyone says. This is the best intro of all time, I true masterpeice.
“Buying your first stock for $20 and it’s up by 1% the next day ” type beat

I find myself playing this song right before I have any big meetings at work. Ultimate hype music!
Absolutely perfect opening theme. Mix of old violins and pianos and new 808s and beats. Perfect symbolism for the dynamic of the show...old guard vs new blood.
that make sense
From today after years, I'll hear this theme knowing how it all ended, knowing Who came out on top and knowing I'll never experience something like this again . Surreal.
iconic song.
connor roy was interested in politics from a young age

He was. All the Con-heads know this.

The best TV theme tune of all time. 🙌🏼
Agree wholeheartedly
I agree
Agree and I haven’t even seen the show
Game of thrones
Dark
Stranger things
Breaking bad
Yes. All shows with a worse theme tune. The fact you are here proves this is best
When I miss the show I come here just to listen to this masterpiece
2021 and I'm still here!
@@isarart7036 nice
The geniuses that are the EVPs of AEW, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, are the reason I'm here.
Same, and now I think I'm gonna start watching this show. I've heard great things!
I had never heard of Succession till Family Guy did a parody of it and when I saw their version of the intro I had to look up the actual one. Am literally not disappointed at all. It’s definitely an intro id never skip
Glad i am not the only one who came here when i heard the young bucks new theme
they cut the last transition from adult to old logan in the end. that little detail followed by the title gave me chills every time
this is one of the best series I've watched in my life and it's the only one I still see on HBO
the only intro we never skip at home. what a beauty..
This theme song will be inspiration for WWE Roman reigns and AEW young bucks theme song
Just start Succession yesterday and binged the first season. The themes song is what really hooked me and I can’t stop watching now. Amazing show.
I hope you guys air this for at least 6.5 seasons, cuz i love it. It gives me the sopranos feeling
This song is so beautiful
How can show be so well shot, so funny yet dramatic, so far away yet feels so real, so timely yet also a lesson in history, with protagonist who can be the good guys just as much as the bad. Genius
This is what power and hegemony sounds like
One of the best intros on TV. I love how they weave the theme throughout each episode, too. It doesn't end with the opening credits.
I love so many things about this show, but the theme song has got to be my favorite! I'm not a music expert, but I'm amazed on how this melody can give the exact mood of the characters and their story. Congrats to the composer!!
Yes, exactly captures the spirit of the show. It relays grandeur, and also tension with that discordant "ching".
It’s so powerful but also elegant
this theme song is single-handedly making me want to watch this show
Thanks HBO for focus on quality over quantity.
Congrats on the Emmy’s, well done, this is a masterpiece
We never skip HBO intros, they're just too good.
A great intro is important!
Congrats on the Emmy win; heard this played for it and wanted to hear the original...
Got chills when they played this song right after announcing the win
This came on my shuffle while I was walking down the streets of downtown Toronto at dead of night and I felt like I owned the whole city.
The show is amazing, but this theme is an absolute masterpiece all of its own: it's the musical eqiuvalent of a financial graph of continuous ups and downs, that continuously switches between an overall rise or fall. And it sounds so beautiful, it does the exact same thing to your emotions whilst listening. The perfect theme tune for the show.👏
These credits are flawless. I love how it shows the mansions, pools, the total wealth and yet the kids look miserable and Logan is so detached from every single one of them. Even where he’s shown at the dinner table his hands move like he’s in a business meeting.
HBO really is the luxury platform of streaming.
HBO knows how to make quality content and impressive production
Who’s here after watching the official season 3 teaser???😍
🙈🥰😍🔥✌️
Most replayed part of this video is 0:00 i think that says enough
I am here after watching Ilia Malinin's historic skate. This music is genius.
It’s my favorite show ever. It becomes amazing in the second half of the first season and never lets up. Gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking and absolutely hilarious at the same time.
placement of this theme during some of the scenes in Season 1 is literally goated.
This, True Detective season 1, GoT and The Good Fight are the opening themes that I have never skipped over for any episode.
This is pretty reminiscent of the Mad Men theme, classical instrumentation mixed with modern bass beat
If HBO thought by posting this I would turn the tune into my ringtone, well, they were absolutely right.
Shouldve left the cut to the present day board room at the end one of the best parts in the intro imo
HBO are in a league of their own. Whatever they paid the composer for this, was well worth it. 👏
This show is like a grand blend of Arrested Development, Dallas, The Godfather, Game of Thrones, and The Office.
You always have to watch the intro for each episode!
Fa sheezy
@@smarkslowplay3512N
once you heard it, this theme stays stuck in your head permanently
The song sounds so rich and classy
You know exactly why I am here. Just heard the news!
Here after Rupert Murdoch announced he is stepping down as chairman of Fox and NewsCorp.
I'm here after golden globes. Well deserves succession for best tv series 💕
Whenever I watch HBO series they always seem to have the best fit of intros and music in general
@1:00 I love it when (is that a clarinet?) comes in! Ahh soo nice, instant dopamine hit
I don't know why but I like this intro. I don't even watch the show that often but they deliver home the opening.
This theme has been stuck in my head ever since I finished the show
Sunday Night Succession is back!!! Watching the season 1 finale tomorrow night!!! This is without a doubt The best show on tv. Period
Charles R were back baby !
Pv PMS Back when season 1 and 2 was around I said it was The best show on tv. Now it’s... meh imo
The music of an empire crumbling down spectacularly like cascading dominoes. The theme is so perfect for the show.
The Young Bucks brought me here.
And this theme has a little GTA4 Soviet Connection in it.
I love how the most replayed part is 0:00 ❤
Just finished watching the series finale! wow! what a story. Avoid spoilers as best as u can
