Warning: This article contains spoilers for the ending of the HBO series "Succession."
Four seasons of Emmy-winning television came to an end Sunday with the series finale of "Succession" on HBO.
The central premise of the series was answering the question of which member of the Roy family would succeed patriarch Logan Roy as CEO of the family media conglomerate, Waystar Royco. The obvious contenders were always his three children from his second marriage: Kendall, Siobhan (Shiv) and Roman.
Viewers finally got the answer in the finale, and — we cannot stress this spoiler alert enough — it was none of those three.
