The fifth and final season of ‘Succession’ is currently streaming on HBO Max. As the finale approaches, fans may be looking for similar productions or from the same creators at media conglomerate Waystar Royco. Who knows a comedy film with Will Ferrell?
Yes, that’s what it reads: the comedian is present in the drama series universe. But what does he have to do with “Succession”?

Will Ferrell and “Succession”
Gary Sanchez on the series
Since the production company of Ferrell and McKay, two filmmakers involved in comedy films and series, is credited on Succession, it is possible that the two may have been responsible for the comic timing of the series.
While an actor was in charge of executive producing, a director was in charge of the first episode. Therefore, it is likely due to the influence of Adam McKay that the work has the performance pace and visual style we know today.
Also, the creator of the production, Jesse Armstrong, often contributes to such works. He is also responsible for “Babylon”, a series with the same dark humor as “Succession”. And it might be a good idea for future Roy orphans.
Incidentally, evidence of Will Ferrell’s presence in “Succession” had long been under the noses of viewers. While the suspicion hasn’t been confirmed, it’s likely that the character Willa Ferreyra, paid to pose as the girlfriend of the Roys’ eldest son, was named after the comedian.
End of Gary Sanchez
Due to creative friction between Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, Gary Sanchez Productions will close its doors. Fortunately, the duo will not leave any loose ends and wrap up the productions currently in development. And that includes “Succession”.
