The Murdochs: Empire of Influence Season 1

Meet the Murdochs, a family of extreme power and no small amount of sibling rivalry.

The Murdoch children get a taste of the family business. Meanwhile, with help from the Reagan administration, Rupert Murdoch forms a new 24-hour cable network.

As his children jockey to someday run the family business, Rupert Murdoch makes his first moves toward choosing a successor.

James Murdoch seems destined to someday take control of the company. His fortunes shift when a Murdoch tabloid is caught hacking into private phone messages.

During the 2016 presidential race, Fox News clashes with Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch gives James and Lachlan joint control of the family business.

As the Trump presidency creates fault lines between James and Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert worries about the future media landscape.

With James and Lachlan unable to co-run the company, Rupert sells 21st Century Fox to Disney, driving James from the family business and leaving Lachlan in charge of Fox News during one of the most turbulent chapters of American history.
