HBO’s latest drama is about how the lives of the 1% of the 1%, a family with so much wealth it’s difficult to comprehend. The series centres on Logan Roy, the ageing founder of a powerful media conglomerate, and his family, who have their own plans for taking control of the company.
Go behind the scenes in this video and hear directly from show creator Jesse Armstrong and producer Adam McKay, as well as cast members Brian Cox, who plays Logan, and Sarah Snook, who plays his daughter Siobhan.
