Step Aside, HBO: Netflix Is Launching Its Own Succession, and It Looks Great
The ludicrously rich, immensely powerful, and utterly shameless fall just the same — but, as the new Netflix series shows, they get knives in the back instead of help.
Summary:
- Netflix ’s upcoming mini-series A Man in Full gives off strong Succession vibes in the best way possible.
- A Man in Full follows a powerful Atlanta real estate mogul whose company is on the verge of bankruptcy.
- With a star-studded cast and experienced showrunners, the mini-series will premiere on May 2, 2024 on Netflix.
HBO’s Succession became the network’s new Game of Thrones: the same political schemes and backstabbing of the people rich and powerful beyond others’ imagination, but set in modern-day New York instead of medieval Westeros.
But everyone wants a piece of that high-stakes big-money success, so Netflix has been working hard to create its own Succession. From what we see, they’ve succeeded!
A Man in Full Breaks the Wheel
Most TV shows about the rich and powerful in the United States are set in New York; it’s something of a law at this point. But Netflix breaks the everlasting cycle of aerial Manhattan shots in its upcoming limited series A Man in Full: unlike Succession and other like-minded shows, it will take us to Atlanta, Georgia. Surprising, isn’t it?

You see, A Man in Full follows an Atlanta real estate mogul whose empire suddenly comes crumbling down beneath his feet. His agency is on the verge of bankruptcy, and yesterday’s friends and subordinates are circling around him like sharks, eager to get a piece of his wealth as he falls — or, better yet, take everything all at once.
A Man in Full Is Set for Success
Netflix’s very own Succession looks really promising. The new trailer is brimming with energy, corruption, power, and schemes — just like we love it. The creators of the show are also no one to be trifled with: their previous works include but are not limited to Big Little Lies and One Night in Miami, and A Man in Full will definitely benefit from their experience.

Netflix’s show features a star-studded cast, from Godless’ Jeff Daniels and Widows’ Jon Michael Hill to Madam Secretary’s Evan Roe and Elementary’s Lucy Liu. Based on Tom Wolfe’s novel of the same name, A Man in Full is scheduled for a May 2, 2024 release — exclusively on Netflix, of course.
Buckle up, we’re in for a ride with another powerful a-hole we’ll love to hate!
