Jesse Armstrong, the creator and executive producer behind HBO’s “Succession,” has been added to the list of speakers at this year’s Banff World Media Festival. The writer, whose credits also include the HBO film “Mountainhead,” will conduct a keynote at the fest, to be moderated by CBC Q’s Tom Power.

“Jesse Armstrong doesn’t just capture the cultural conversation, he drives it. Having him join us at Banff alongside an incredible lineup of creators, executives, and industry disruptors says everything about where the global media business is right now: bold, unpredictable, and evolving fast,” said Banff executive director Jenn Kuzmyk.
