Filming for Succession season four is currently underway – but it looks as though someone is going to die in the latest plot twist.

Brian Cox (Logan Roy), Jeremy Strong (Kendall Roy), Nicholas Braun (Greg Hirsch), Alan Ruck (Connor Roy) and Fisher Stevens (Hugo Baker) were all spotted in the upper east side of New York City on Monday afternoon filming a funeral scene.

Could one of both of them have met their demise or is there a more simple explanation?

Succession tells the story of The Roy family, known for controlling the biggest media and entertainment company in the world.

However, their world changes when their father steps down from the company leading his children to battle to secure themselves the top job as his successor – by any means possible.

During filming, British actor Brian was spotted in a plain black baseball cap with a black coat under a blue shirt.

Jeremy was seen sporting a traditional black suit with a brown-grey overcoat, along with aviator sunglasses while carrying a brown grocery bag.

And Nicholas opted for a grey suit with a black overcoat, with a gold watch peeking through his coat.

Alan was spotted sporting horned-rimmed glasses and a grey beard with a classic black suit and black overcoat.

Fisher was seen wearing a blue suit with a dark grey overcoat for the funeral scene in New York City.

The show will pick up from the explosive Season 4 finale, which found the Roy children – Kendall, Connor, Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) – get shut out of their father Logan’s Waystar Royco conglomerate.

While, for a majority of the series, the Roy children have been at odds with each other, the last few episodes of Season 3 found them finally joining forces to stop their father Logan from selling off the family’s media conglomerate.

Little did they know that family black sheep Tom Wambsgans (Matthew McFadyen) betrayed his own wife Shiv and gave Logan a heads up on what they were doing, giving him enough to remove their power to block the impending sale.

The final shots of Season 3 seemed to indicate that Shiv realized her husband betrayed her, though it’s unclear how that will play out in Season 4.
