Host a Watch Party: Succession Premiere
All right all you number one boys and girls –
How to host for Succession Season 4 Premiere
March 26, 2023 9:00PM EST. on HBO –
The fourth and final season of the smash show SUCCESSION premieres Sunday, so let’s make this a meeting instead of an email.
We’ve sorely missed our court-side seats for the Roy family’s trillion-dollar mind games. And we’re dying to know, as this last phase launches: Are Shiv and Tom finally breaking up? Are Gerri and Roman finally getting married? Is the Waystar empire really, actually crashing down this time? And if so – who’s the next king or queen of the trash heap?
F*ck it. We can’t wait to find out. We’re gonna throw a rager (low-key watch party) about it.
To Invite
“Do YOU want to call your dad?”
For designs ready to send to your watch party, check out designs on Etsy, or see these by HiNote:
To Eat
Warm up the butter before serving, for f*ck’s sake.
- Cheese Platter With Summer Sausage
- Seasoned Dinner Rolls
- Shaved Fennel Salad
- Monkfish with Herbs + Brown Butter
- Tom Sundaes with Greg Sprinkles
(or screw the menu and order pizza, a la Logan)
To Drink
We don’t have the Roy’s wine budget, so dress up any vintage with these options.
- Try this decanter
- Ditto with your fav affordable whiskey
- Make a Lyre’s Manhattan Mocktail: Recipe here
To Wear
Get that Little Lord F*ckleroy fit.
- Navy, beige, gray, white, and black
- Silk, linen, tweed, wool (or faux any of these)
- Attire: Blazers, button-downs, blouses, or no shirts
- Accessories: Pearls and ties
- Footwear: No shoes on the teak deck
To Decorate
Don’t stress about decor—all eyes will be on the premiere anyway. But if you want to go all out and set the scene for treason, we recommend:
- Paper Shredder Confetti
- Mini Adirondack Chairs
- Waystar | Royco Photo Background: Print and tape or pin Waystar | Royco logos in a repeating pattern for a Getty Images look.
- White and gold dinnerware and serving dishes
To Listen
Everyone will be tuning in to hear the foul-mouthed family’s latest and greatest insults, but if you need some pre-board meeting lobby music:
To Play
Plenty of games (er, treason) played on-screen here. Try a few of your own to jump in on the money game.
- The Succession Drinking Game
- Good Tweet, Bad Tweet (with twitter takes on the #succession premiere)
- Monopoly
- I Went To Market And I Bought
To Do: A Craft
How many helicopters are too many?
- Try your hand at your own: Make an origami helicopter
To Gift
Send them off with a souvenir.
- Aviator sunglasses (to hide from the pap)
- Waystar | Royco Company Baseball Hats
If you couldn't tell, we're ecstatic for the Season 3 premiere. Don’t forget to have fun and f*ck off!
