Fans of the TV show Succession speculated that Tom Wambsgans' name was a clue to the show's final twist, inspired by Bill Wambsganss' triple play in the 1920 World Series. However, the show's executive producer, Frank Rich, confirmed that Tom's name was chosen before the show's first season and had no connection to baseball history. The source for the name was a staff member's relative, and it was chosen for its awkwardness, fitting for a character who is an outsider in the Roy family's world.

Jesse Armstrong, the creator of the Emmy-winning TV series "Succession," revealed in a featurette that he believes naming Tom Wambsgans as Waystar Royco's American CEO was the "right ending" for the show. He also explained that the finale isn't necessarily an end to the Roy siblings' stories, but rather where the show loses interest in them because they've lost what they wanted, which was to succeed. The finale means different things for each character, with Kendall Roy's central event marking his whole life.
The series finale of the Emmy-winning drama series "Succession" has resolved the question of who will succeed Logan Roy at the head of Waystar Royco.

In the latest episode of Succession, Tom and Shiv's relationship takes a turn for the worse as they engage in a savage argument. Tom's willingness to throw out the conservative media elite from their apartment suggests that he may have hit his limit with the marriage. Shiv and Tom could come back from this, but it's uncertain. Tom is in a vulnerable position, and it's hard to see how he comes out of this merger bloodbath unless he outmaneuvers Shiv.

In this week's episode of Succession, Tom and Shiv engage in a game of Bitey and have sex, revealing their relationship is transactional and based on their love of wealth.

Tom's position is still precarious and dependent on how Shiv treats him moving forward.
Shiv Roy's behavior in the latest episodes of Succession has been unpredictable, as she deals with her secret pregnancy, her father's death, and her brothers' attempts to push her out of power. She's flirting with Lukas Matsson while hooking up with her soon-to-be ex-husband Tom, and holding glasses of alcohol to keep up appearances. It's unclear what Shiv wants beyond maintaining power, and whether she actually wants the baby. Her erratic dealings with Matsson could come back to bite her, and it remains to be seen if she can girlboss her way out of sorrow.
Tom Wambsgans, the perpetually odd man out among the top of the Waystar Royco food chain in HBO's Succession, uses food and drink to convey his headspace. Actor Matthew Macfadyen sells Tom's identity with his flat "uh huh" line deliveries, his shrugging shoulders, and the occasional outburst of incandescent, office-furniture-destroying fury. Tom's willingness to indulge in a nosh makes him only more of an outsider, and it provides Macfadyen with opportunities to reflect Tom's humanity and occasionally to project Tom's discomfort through the food-based torment of others, usually Cousin Greg.

In the first episode of Succession season four, Tom Wambsgans is still straddling delicate lines with his soon-to-be ex-wife Shiv, his father-in-law and boss Logan, and Cousin Greg. Tom is fucking over Logan by helping Shiv and fucking over Shiv by being a close ally of Logan. Logan isn't fucking over Tom yet, but it's clear that if kicking Tom to the nearest curb serves his interests, Logan will do it without a second thought. Professionally, Tom seems fine, but he's tap-dancing on eggshells.
Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Tom Wambsgans in the TV series Succession, has revealed that even he sometimes mistakes his character's "extreme doormat-ness" for outright idiocy. However, he has been reminded by the show's creator, Jesse Armstrong, that Tom is running a billion-dollar wing of the company and is not a total moron. Macfadyen believes that Tom's future is not locked down, despite his recent move to betray his wife for Logan and his own interests. The fourth and final season of Succession premieres on Sunday, March 26.
Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Tom Wambsgans in HBO's Succession, talks about his character's transformation from a patsy to a power player in the show's fourth and final season.
