'MEDICI' EPIC SEASON 2 CASTS

 BRADLEY JAMES, DANIEL SHARMAN, SEAN BEAN, SARAH PARISH, JULIAN SANDS

Bradley James will be Guiliano Medici

The most beautiful piece of info ever as the highlight of our period set projects week! Those who know the spy probably remember when I said I was gonna ditch MEDICI: MASTERS OF FLORENCE after it was shockingly announced that Richard Madden won't be starring in the second season, but now that the new cast has been announced for the sophomore run of the magnificent epic TV series I'm definitely watching since our dearest King Arthur Bradley James has been cast in the role of Giuliano Medici! The main star of the second season, which starts shooting next month, will, however, be Daniel Sharman as his brother Lorenzo the Magnificent, the grandson of Madden's Cosimo Medici who was the star of the first season. The eight part series will also include Julian Sands as Lorenzo and Giuliano’s father, Piero, and Sebastian De Souza as their friend, Sandro Botticelli. The pope will be played, believe it or not, by sinfully gorgeous Italian superstar Raoul Bova and Sean Bean will

portray the family's greatest rival and enemy Jacoppo Pazzi. Sarah Parish (who is no stranger to epic series as she already starred in Pillars of the Earth and Atlantis) will play the new, older version of Lorenzo's mother while Alessandra Mastronardi will play his mistress! Italian RAI and Netflix are producing the series again to air it sometime next year.
