And then there are the alliances and the relationships to consider.

Has Roman already lost Menckens support?

Is Shiv backing the wrong horse with Mattson?

Is Hugo really the droid Kendall is looking for?

And, most important, will the Roy siblings ever find common ground?

Some are predicting a Shakespearean end in which nobody wins.

Kendall Becomes the sole CEO.

Being the last season, SOMEONE has to succeed Logan.

I think hell actually eat GoJo instead of vice versa and end up on top.

And userMundurammadanpoints to clues in the finale trailer as well asKing Lear.

Kendall is going to win.

But I have a strong sense that someone important is going to die.

The Greg theory

Greg theory believers just want you to hear them out.

My Greg theory is massively in play for the series finale.

The way he said it just sounded so duplicitous.

Also onTwitter, one fan wrote that Mattson could put Greg in charge as a troll move.

Selling your soul wont save you from your dads misogyny in the end.

Shiv releases the receipts.

Shiv is in a very favorable position to be CEO, arguesRedditor plo2020.

She has all the inside knowledge about her brothers.

She knows about Kendalls murder and Romans behavior with Gerri.

She also has all the dirt on Lucas and the best connection with Pierce.

Plo2020 goes further, predicting that Shiv will pin ATNs support of Mencken entirely on Tom.

She and Maatson will use the GoJo networks to leak Kendall killing the waiter and covering it up.

Tom wins by bringing down Shiv.

Oh, Tom Wambsgans.

Tom has been a dark horse favorite from the start.

Redditor Icy_Ruin3512s take: The show ends with the ascendance of a non-family member.

Tom will have to choose between CEO and Shiv and his baby and will choose power.

Shes betrayed him one too many times.

Shiv and Tom get back together.

There are on-and-off relationships, and then there are these two.

Shiv and Tom end up together but miserable too, predicts Emma Vigeland onTwitter.

Roman loses big time.

RedditorDoldrysays, The guy is absolutely torn to pieces over his father’s death.

He’s (understandably) losing his shit emotionally, and acting erratically.

We’ve seen shots emphasizing pill bottles.

Userfannnniwrites, I mean his suicidal involvement with the protest, is he gonna make it out alive?

Everybody loses.

But I’m wondering if, like the Sopranos, it even matters all that much anymore.

It might be more about what succeeds the world Logan built.

Other commenters think that Ewans eulogy at Logans funeral pointed to just such an outcome.

Each of them will betray one another in an unforgivable way, and they will lose their bond forever.

The other two will go their separate ways.

TheSuccessionseries finale premieres on May 28 on HBO Max.
