It's a pervasive rumor that "Succession" is based on media mogul Rupert Murdoch and family (supposedly when he divorced fourth wife Jerry Hall, she was banned from giving story ideas to the HBO show's writing team as part of the settlement). According to a new story from @TheAtlantic, the real-life drama is as Machiavellian and cutthroat as on screen. McKay Coppins interviewed second son James and his wife Kathryn, about being a Murdoch, Fox, Brexit, Trump, the family trust that blew everything apart, and the "Succession" connection. Story may be paywalled.
