AUTUMN 2019 EPIC TV SERIES
Medici: The Power And The Beauty
A guide through all the epic dramas you need to see this autumn today from your spy! The first season Masters of Florence was out standing, the
second season The Magni- ficent was a disapp- ointment filled with lazy writing and some really bad acting and casting, so the third season MEDICI: THE POWER AND THE BEAUTY will be the final one, ending the Italian series for good. We don't know the exact date, but we know it will air on RAI really soon bringing the story of the final end of the famous Italian noble family. Beside Daniel Sharman in the lead role, the final season will bring Rose Williams to the cast too. Spy more here.

Britannia Season Two
After Catherine the Great, Sky Atlantic will launch the second season of their Roman series BRITANNIA from November 7th! Let us hope that the second season of the series which follows Roman invasion of ancient Britain
under David Morrissey’s General Aulus, will prove more watchable than the monotonous first one. Eleanor Worthington Cox returns as Cait – the young woman prophesied to be the saviour of Britannia from the invaders! Spy more here.

War Of The Worlds
BBC has first announced this one for Autumn and now we don't see it in their schedule, so I cannot give you the exact date, but it is the most postponed series we've ever seen on BBC (which does not bode good). WAR OF THE
WORLDS stars Rafe
Spall, Greg Kinnear and Eleanor Tomlinson in a story set in London
during the Edwardian era, where George and Amy's attempt to start a life
together is interrupted by a Martian invasion of Earth!

ReplyDeleteIt will be an epic Autumn!
DeleteFall movie season 2019 looks rich and versatile, with something for everyone: history, comedy, SF, detective dramas etc...
ReplyDeleteThe cinema lover will have a hard time choosing among all the gems and genres.
I hope the new streaming services will bring us an ever bigger selection in years to come.
Deletei feel like we haven’t had a good fall lineup in years, so I’m pleased that this season looks promising. Must be the introduction of so many streaming services that are finally letting the powers that be know that we for once have a choice on who we’ll throw our money at, we don’t have to pit up with crappy shows any longer.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is just the list without ITV (they naturally did not respond to my question on their Fall lineup) and maybe some others :)
DeleteLook at all those typos lol. Gotta love it when I comment from my iPad.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any :) I read quickly.
DeleteCatherine the Great looks, well, great!! (hehe) Seriously though, I'm looking forward to that one. The Witcher also looks like a lot of fun, although I hope they didn't steal the concept of Supernatural. :)
ReplyDeleteShe was actually a very fat woman at that age, not skinny like Helen :) Witcher is not contemporary but medieval set.
DeleteAnother War of the Worlds... Say it ain't so.
ReplyDeleteBut it is... and there is another European version in production too with Gabriel Byrne
