Warning: This article contains spoilers for the HBO docuseries “Ren Faire.” At the Texas Renaissance Festival, there can only be one king. And George Coulam, known to the thousands of the faire’s attendees as King George, is keeping his crown. The 86-year-old festival leader was the subject of “Ren Faire,” an HBO docuseries that aired its final two episodes on Sunday.
In the process, he also fired both general managers and hired himself to replace them, although Baldwin was later rehired as entertainment director. Many critics and viewers online compared the series to “Succession,” the award-winning HBO drama that followed a fictional media empire run by Logan Roy, whose family all vied for a shot at taking over the company themselves throughout the course of four seasons.
