"The Munsters" is the fourth season premiere of the American satirical comedy-drama television series Succession, and the 30th episode overall. It was written by series creator Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Mylod, and originally aired on HBO on March 26, 2023.

Succession centers on the Roy family, the owners of global media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo, and their fight for control of the company amidst uncertainty about the health of the family's patriarch Logan (Brian Cox). The episode takes place months after the season three finale "All the Bells Say", during which alignments within the family shifted heavily; Logan's three youngest children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) are now teamed up against their father, against whom they race to land a bid for Pierce Global Media, days before Logan's planned sale of Waystar to GoJo.

"The Munsters" received critical acclaim, with praise for the episode's performances, script, and emotional resonance, particularly during the final scene. For her performance as Pierce matriarch Nan, Cherry Jones was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, having previously won the award for her performance in the season two episode "Tern Haven".
