SERPENT QUEEN EPIC SERIES
FINDS ITS SINISTER CARDINAL
One of our pet projects is continuing with the casting process and as Deadline reports, THE SERPENT QUEEN epic series over at Starz has just
added Ray Panthaki next to Samantha Morton, Charles Dance, Colm Meaney and others that we've already announced. Morton plays famous Catherine de Medici who, considered an immigrant, common and plain, is married into the 16th century French court as an orphaned teenager expected to bring a fortune in dowry and produce many heirs, only to discover that her husband is in love with an older woman, her dowry is unpaid and she’s unable to conceive. Yet, only with her intelligence and determination, she manages to keep her marriage alive and masters the bloodsport that is the monarchy better than anyone else, ruling France for 50 years. Panthaki will be Charles Guise, the sinister Catholic Cardinal who loves taking things from the Protestants under the guise of raising funds for war and to fund their families louche lifestyles. He is intelligent, politically deft, athletically gifted and devastatingly handsome.

NINE PERFECT STRANGERS
HULU'S STARSTUDDED TRAILER

| New series starts August 18th |
I've always like Nicole Kidman, this looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteHope it does not disappoint.
DeleteNine perfect strangers seems like a good one!
ReplyDeleteShould be thrilling indeed.
DeleteThink I've heard of Nine Perfect Strangers before... And I just may check it out, when it comes out! 😉 Again, saving myself from any spoilers, not reading about it, not watching the trailer.
ReplyDeleteJust started binge-watching Cruel Summer, already on the 3rd episode. It's not bad. 🙂 Getting 13 Reasons Why vibes, but... It's obviously not as good as that show. 🤷♂️
Have fun with Cruel Summer!
DeleteThanks, heard talks about the 2nd season so, they possibly already renewed it, which is awesome because... You know how awful it is when you get hooked on something & then find out it got canceled. 🙄 Such a pain in the a*s.
DeleteThat almost always happens especially at Netflix, ABC, NBC and some other networks.
DeleteYup, but it sucks when it's already after the first season & you didn't even get to enjoy it for more than a season, let alone got answers, the story got a proper ending etc. 🤷♂️
DeleteI've watched TV shows that got canceled after only 1 or 2 episodes were aired! Talk about savages from TV networks. Seriously crazy. Why order the whole season if you'll know after the first few episodes that it's just not going to cut it? 🤷♂️
Don't they have analysts who do their jobs & make a research with the public etc? C'mon. 🙄
Oy, I remember some series that were shot, announced, promoted and then cancelled before airing, I even had spotlights on them here and then they never aired, I remember that GODS AND PROPHETS epic series (tons of gorgeous hunks in it) and that Egyptian series which got photos, trailer, airing time and then got cancelled, I forgot the tame. Given what kind of crap they ordered for Autumn, I'd say they all need to fire their analysts.
DeleteI wasn't so sure about Nine Perfect Strangers, but I think it may be a good watch while doing chores. Something that you don't have to fully focus on. Plus one of my boyfriends is in it, so I'll have to at least try to watch it. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou totally must!
DeleteOk, I was going to pass on 9 Perfect Strangers, but now I’m intrigued how it all plays out after watching the trailer. I don’t normally support Kidman, but I just may have to watch this in length.
ReplyDeleteIt does look intriguing and there is nothing else to watch this summer anyhows.
