Katherine Parkinson and Tom Goodman Hill will play a couple who purchase a Synth (Gemma Chan) but quickly come to regret their decision! Colin Morgan will play Leo - a young man on the run, while Neil Maskell will be a member of the Special Technologies Task Force. GAME OF THRONE's Will Tudor, Emily Berrington (24: Live Another Day) and Rebecca Front will also star in the English version of a Swedish series.

historical comedy series at Comedy Central! Starring Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome the

LAVISH ROYAL CORONATION
IN THE NEW EPISODE OF 'REIGN'
Now, we've seen Mary and Francis taking over the rule over France at the start of the second season of CW's popular historical series REIGN, but we haven't yet seen the official coronation! The crowning will happen in the fourth episode in which, with France in a state of famine, as well as religious and political unrest, Mary (Adelaide Kane) looks for a way to feed the people, risking the wrath of a vengeful Lord Narcisse (Craig Parker). Francis (Toby Regbo) is preoccupied by the harrowing suspicion that his dead father’s spirit can possess the living and is haunting Francis as revenge for his 
murder. As Catherine (Megan Follows) makes excessive and lavish preparations for a coronation ceremony to give the impression of stability to the 
realm, Bash (Torrance Coombs) confronts the reality of a country plagued by fear, bankruptcy, and murder.
THE LAVISH GOWNS
The royal coronation episode will show us a sumptuous wardrobe of rich fabrics, over-the-top crowns, exquisite jewelry, and fashion forward clothing! As EW reports, Mary's coronation gown made from gold embroidered burgundy brocade with a very long train took 12 yards of fabric, six seamstresses and
designers and two weeks to finish!
Francis is wearing a vest from the same brocade. Mary will also wear an
ornate golden crown and 
extravagant oxidized, gold-plated Swarovski
crystal chandelier earrings! The old queen Catherine will wear Oscar de
la Renta
ruby necklace! It is interesting that most of the costumes and
jewellery seen in the show are taken from the collections of
contemporary designers.

Looks sumptuous...love the uniforms!
ReplyDeleteit's a very fun show, although it isn't really following the real history blindly :)
DeleteREIGN is on here at the moment. Haven't watched it. Yet.
ReplyDeletethe second season has started of nicely two weeks ago. Especially with my most dearest Craig Parker in a guest role
DeleteAdelaide Kane is cute
ReplyDeletebut a very bad actress, sadly... her portrayal of the queen is rather like watching a young lass in a High School play....
DeleteSo cute she should stop acting. Or start...
Deleteone of those two definitely!
DeleteI love Colin Morgan. We definitely need more of him on the tv.
ReplyDeletewe do positively adore every bit of him! It is so sad that some of the deeply charismatic lead stars of beloved epic shows don't get new lead roles when the show ends. Remember Craig Horner from LEGEND OF THE SEEKER, or even Bradley James from MERLIN?
DeleteThose costumes are incredible. Red and gold are always my favorite colors together.
ReplyDeleteI much preferred her wedding gown from the first season.
Delete"who have absolutely nothing to offer to the world, but who have so much money it doesn’t matter." Kinda like the Kardashians?
ReplyDeletetotally!
DeleteForgot to tell you, I like your festive pumpkin background here at the SPY :)
Deletejust carved them and arranged them around the palace yesternight :)
DeleteHumans - hmm, make me think of Woody Allen's 1973 movie, "Sleeper" /http://youtu.be/-n6ZeaeY7zE You might remember that one - regarding servants.
ReplyDelete"Another Period" comedy - and who said, "let them eat cake," ??
"Reign" - is it as feisty as the trailer?
it usually is as feisty :) but you must not take it seriously.. that is the only way to watch it
DeleteI just chose to start the episode one of the first season of Reign, I like pretty well this series.
ReplyDeleteCheers .
it is a fun series to watch if you take it lightly not seriously :)
DeleteThose are stunning costumes.
ReplyDeleteAnother Period sounds interesting. It kind of sounds like a historical Arrested Development.
a historical sitcom is something we haven't seen often!
DeleteChristina Hendricks... uurrr, uhm. yeah! looking forward to Reign... Love, Reign or Me...
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone to comment on Christina's pic... I thought nobody noticed....
DeleteMy favorite part of Reign is reading all the comments about the wardrobe and other "inconsistencies". People get soooo mad. It's very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI generally hate the costumes in it too :) not just because they're inconsistent but because they're totally random and often have nothing to do with the scenes and situations. You can use contemporary costumes in such shows to be special, but the costume designer has to be on top of his/her task, which isn't true in REIGN. Not that they don't have great ones from time to time... the wedding was amazing.
