The 'Succession' creator's next project follows the story of four friends navigating a turbulent economic crisis, with production expected to begin later this year.

Jesse Armstrong, known for creating HBO's acclaimed series 'Succession,' is developing an original feature film for HBO Films.
The untitled movie will focus on four friends coming together during an ongoing international financial crisis, exploring themes of economic and personal turmoil.
Armstrong is collaborating with Frank Rich, a fellow executive producer from 'Succession,' on the film, which is being fast-tracked for production in 2025.

Casting discussions are underway, with Armstrong still writing the script for what is expected to be a sharp exploration of sociopolitical dynamics.
