Bill Milner joins as King Charles IX the oldest son of Catherine de
Medici, and the now King of France. Not a boy, but not quite a man, he
is anxious to
play king and get it right. Minnie Driver is Elizabeth I the infamous Virgin Queen who goes toe-to-toe with Catherine and is a woman of style, wit and
experience.
Angus Imrie is Henry IV the son of Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne
d’Albret, he appears uncivilized, to the unobservant observer but in
reality, he is quite an intellect.
Emma McDonald is Rahima who viewers first met in season one and has
grown in wit and confidence and now has 
assumed an important position in
Catherine’s life.
Stanley Morgan is Anjou the younger brother of King Charles, who is non-conforming and capable of 
disruptive violence.
Philippine Velge is princess Margot Catherine’s eldest daughter,
who is her polar opposite. Incredibly charming, liked by all and
seeks
the truth.
Rosalie Craig is Jeanne d’Albret the self-righteous and disapproving wife of Antonie de Bourbon.
Isobel Jesper Jones is Edith, a 
protestant preacher to a group of loyal followers. Ashley Thomas is Alessandro de Medici a man possessed with great charisma and beauty and is
the object of desire.
Alexandre Willaume is Montmorency the wise and humorless Constable General of France. He is a loyal and serious servant of
the king. Joining Morton in the returning cast are Danny Kirrane, Ray Panthaki, Raza Jaffrey, Enzo Cilenti, Amrita Acharia, Ruby Bentall, Beth Goddard, Ludivine Sagnier, Nicholas Burns, and Rupert Everett.

The costumes, the makeup...I am dying.
ReplyDeleteYes, those were silly times fashionwise :) The whole series was done purposefully to be a bit kitchy with those costumes, silly overacting and comedy plus rock music. They wanted such dynamics as opposed to something sinister and dark that one would expect from Cathy de Medici.
DeleteShe running around looking like the Queen of Hearts. Off with their heads! LOL
ReplyDeleteShe is the original bitch indeed.
