Succession star Matthew Macfadyen: 'It’s a joy to play a real human grease stain'

A series that has trawled the depths of the rich list for inspiration and placed the morally corrupt dregs of society centre stage, Succession’s long awaited return is set to provide viewers with more helpings of unscrupulous conceit than ever before.
