Tom Wambsgans Named CEO of Waystar Royco in Shocking ‘Succession’ Finale Twist

The hit HBO series “Succession” has come to an end, and the finale episode has left fans with a shocking twist. Series creator Jesse Armstrong opened up about why he believes the “right ending” was to name Tom Wambsgans (played by Matthew Macfadyen) as Waystar Royco’s American CEO.

In the finale episode, the Roy family’s plan to keep their late father’s media empire in the family was thwarted when Shiv (Sarah Snook) sided with the buyer, Nordic tech bro Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård). In an emotional confrontation that devolved into a brawl, Shiv helped install her estranged husband, Tom Wambsgans, as the new CEO of Waystar Royco.

Armstrong revealed that he had been considering Tom as the eventual successor for quite some time. He said, “The idea of Tom being the eventual successor, that had been something that I thought was the right ending for quite a while now.” Armstrong believes that Tom’s power comes from Matsson, and that even though he is not the most powerful monarch, his power is still formidable.

The finale episode of “Succession” has left fans with a lot to think about. The show has been praised for its dark humor and complex characters, and the finale was no exception. While some fans may be disappointed with the ending, Armstrong believes that Tom was the right choice for the CEO of Waystar Royco.
