The music in Succession created an atmosphere of power and tension that reflected the Roy family’s dynamics. Nicholas Britell’s score used discordant piano notes and swelling strings to evoke grandeur and unease. The show’s theme became iconic for its ability to capture the essence of wealth and manipulation. Tracks like Rondo in F Minor heightened the intensity of key moments in the boardroom and family confrontations. The music felt like an extension of the characters and their constant scheming. Without Britell’s score, the show would not feel as sharp or carry the same storytelling weight.
