"Glengarry Glen Ross is set in a cutthroat Chicago real estate office where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers," reads the official synopsis.
"Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job – a ruthless environment where each character will do anything to come out on top."
Culkin will star as ruthless salesman Richard Roma, who was played by Al Pacino in the 1992 film adaptation. Odenkirk will play Shelly Levine, the older has-been salesman; while Burr will take on the role of the loud, often ranting salesman Dave Moss.

"In 1983, I saw the original production of Glengarry Glen Ross in London," said Tony award-winning director Patrick Marber. "I was just nineteen. The play blew my young soul away."
He continued: "It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theatre. Forty years later, I am so thrilled to be directing it on Broadway with these incredible actors. I will do my utmost to ensure that this great American play brings audiences the same great pleasures it brought to me."
The Broadway production of Glengarry Glen Ross is set to open in spring 2025.
Succession aired on HBO in the US, and is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
