Shiv Roy

Siobhan "Shiv" Roy is a fictional character in the American HBO satirical dark comedy-drama television series Succession. She is portrayed by Sarah Snook and was created by showrunner Jesse Armstrong, as with the rest of the show's characters. Armstrong initially conceived the series as a feature film about the Murdoch family, but the script never went into production. He later decided to create a new script centered on original characters loosely inspired by various powerful media families.

She is a member of the Roy family, owners of Waystar RoyCo, a global media and entertainment conglomerate, led by patriarch Logan Roy. Shiv is Logan's youngest child and only daughter from his second marriage. As a left-leaning political fixer upon Logan's retirement, Shiv distanced herself from the company until she was offered a leadership position by her father. The various back-and-forths with her family for control of the company, as well as her strained marriage to Tom Wambsgans, become a central part of Shiv's storyline.
