Will there be a Season 4 of Succession?
Yes! It was announced in late October, less than a week after the season 3 premiere, that the critically acclaimed HBO series had been renewed for a fourth season. “With each season of Succession, Jesse Armstrong has continued to exceed our wildest expectations, drawing us deeper into the Roy family's inner sanctum with indelible wit, humanity, and precision,” Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, said in a statement. “Jesse Armstrong has continued to surpass our wildest expectations, drawing us deeper into the Roy family's inner sanctum with indelible wit, humanity, and precision.” There is no doubt that this season is no exception, and we couldn't be more excited for everything that is to come during this next season ahead.”

Is there a release date for Season 4 of Succession?
Since the pandemic caused the two-year break between seasons 2 and 3, it's unlikely that fans will have to wait nearly as long for new episodes. A recent interview with GQ UK revealed that the show's star Brian Cox (who is usually the one who has the most information about the series) had stated that it planned to resume shooting in June 2022, with writers returning to their desks the following January. It took me by surprise because I had assumed they would be returning in November. However, I believe they are in need of a break. “I mean, I think they do require some breathing room because they've been working extremely hard on this [series],” Cox stated.

In the meantime, there's always Nicholas Braun's Instagram account to keep you entertained while you wait.
What could be the plot of Succession Season 4?
Show creator Jesse Armstrong teased plot points for future episodes of the HBO drama in an interview with Deadline, suggesting that Tom's decision may come back to bite him in the arse because Logan isn't known for being loyal or trusting. (However, Armstrong remained largely mum, stating that there are still plenty of writers' room discussions to be had before anything can be set in stone.)
According to an interview with Entertainment Weekly, actress Sarah Snook stated that Shiv will have “a lot of soul-searching to do” in the upcoming third season. “My mother has deserted me. As it turns out, my father is actually the devil, and my husband has made an agreement with him. As a result, I have nowhere to turn. And, really, will I run to my brothers?…the Where's safest port to dock at?…”
During his interview with IndieWire, Armstrong also discussed Greg's decision to side with Tom in the finale and how that may affect his character development: “Greg has demonstrated, I believe, that he is not uninterested in wielding power and accumulating wealth. It's just that he's only ever consumed very small amounts of it in the previous years.”
