My prediction is Tom is put in a position of choice, maybe between Greg and Shiv, and ultimately sides with Greg.

Sarah Snook said in an interview a couple of days ago that there is another 'clue' on the series 4 poster, similar to the series 3 one:

The "losers" on the left, and the "winners" on the right.

Some thoughts and (mis)interpretations:
  • Who's looking at Logan - Greg & Connor v Who's not quite looking at Logan - Shiv, Roman, Kendall & Tom
  • Posture - Logan is centered (maybe slightly to the left?), Roman, Connor, Kendall and Tom are facing hard right, Greg facing hard left, Shiv somewhere between centred and facing right
  • Ties v no ties - Logan, Greg and Tom v Roman, Connor and Kendall (does Shiv's necklace count?)
  • Shadows - pointing at Roman and Kendall
  • Emotion - Shiv (steely), Greg (concerned/nervous), Roman (anxious/worried/guilty), Roman (disgust), Connor (surprised), Kendall (concerned), Tom (calm)
 
I remember there were a couple of versions of the Series 3 picture above, with the characters swapped about. I wonder if the same is true for the series 4 picture?

Eta - found this for series 3

Greg facing to the left seems significant, like he’s leaving. Tom, Shiv and Connor seem to be looking at Logan’s watch. From the first ever episode, I always assumed/hoped Greg would get everything ultimately.

Where do you read these? I'd be interested too!

If you search something along the lines of ‘Succession season 3 episode 4 recap’ (or whichever episode you’re wanting to read about) loads come up - I usually read two or three different ones as there’s so much that connects to previous episodes that I’ve forgotten, or subtle nuances that whizzed right over my head.

He's also the only one not facing forwards in this image, which I think was the first promo image they shared:

Also the designers gone to some effort to give everyone two reflections except Kendall and Roman (one) and Logan (none).

Yep that’s what I do. There’s one called Vulture something which is good.

For me I think it’s not if Logan dies, it’s when. The whole show is called Succession so there needs to be some form of successor

Exactly: the entire premise of the show is the question ‘who will succeed Logan’; if the answer to that is ‘no one, after four seasons the show is ending at the same point at which it started’, why was it called ‘Succession’ and premised around the issue of succession?

Added to which, Logan’s health has been worsening steadily since the very start. He’s not going to suddenly get better and continue running everything for another 20 years.
 
OK that was unpopular  I would just say that TV shows evolve as they continue, Logan was supposed to die in the first season but they changed their mind. I also have Game of Thrones in mind, like when the iron throne was destroyed in the last episode. It could be very possible that it's an ironic title. We shall see what happens, right?
