Is Shiv Roy pregnant on the show ‘Succession’? Learn all there is to know about the pregnancy, the possible father and more.
When Sarah Snook debuted her baby bump at a premiere of HBO’s critically acclaimed amazing show about awful people, many fans couldn’t help but wonder if her character Shiv was pregnant in Succession season 4. For those who aren’t familiar with the series, Succession, which premiered in June 2018, follows the moneyed Roy family, who own a global entertainment and media conglomerate known as Waystar RoyCo.
When Succession begins, the future of their company is up in the air after family patriarch and aging founder, Logan Roy, experiences some health issues that leave shareholders questioning his fitness to lead. His four adult children—Kendall, Roman, Shiv and Connor—waste no time when it comes to sharing their opinions on who should helm the company in their father’s place.
Throughout the satirical drama, Shiv’s relationship with her husband, Tom Wambsgans (Matthew MacFadyen) is increasingly strained, and they’ve even faced with fertility challenges. However, Shiv’s pregnancy was confirmed in season four, episode four titled “Honeymoon States” which aired on Sunday, April 16, 2023, in the opening scene.
We assume that the father of Shiv’s baby is Tom, but that is open to interpretation.
Later in the “Honeymoon States” episode, Shiv Roy takes a little tumble down the stairs of her late father’s grandiose Upper East Side townhouse while the family, well-wishers and WayStar executives ponder who is going to take up the mantle in Logan’s place. All the more serious when you’re in your first trimester.
She rejects her husband Tom’s help in getting up, but it becomes a question of how long she’s going to reject him as her baby is a real product of their seemingly failed marriage. While Tom is presumed to be the father, it is possible she slept with someone else while they were separated. Tom and Shiv have discussed having children before, so it will not be very surprising if Tom is indeed revealed as the father.
