 DOMINA SECOND SEASON 

TO ARRIVE IN LATE 2023

Although it was the best viewed debut series on Epix in 2021, the wait for DOMINA series season two will be long as it will start shooting in early 2023 with airing planned for the end of the next year. The series that sees Kasia Smutniak playing Livia Drusilla who helped her husband Gaius Julius Caesar (Matthew McNulty) reach and hold onto the imperial throne of Ancient Rome, will see most of the old cast returning and we can probably expect new cast announcements this Autumn. Season two will plunge us back into the intrigue and corruption of ancient Rome, as the indomitable Livia Drusilla fights to maintain her position in a world in which the quest for power is pursued at any cost. This time Livia’s hands will get very dirty, and the price will be higher than even she can imagine.

 

  THE LOST KING TRAILER  

FOR NEW STEPHEN FREARS FILM

The film is out this October

After I thank you all spylings for helping us cross our 9,000,000th visitor last week, I will treat you for your help in achieving such a high number of page hits with the first poster for THE LOST KING, the latest movie drama from famous Stephen Frears who gave us Philomena, The Queen and Dangerous Liaisons. Out this October it stars Sally Hawkins, Harry Lloyd and Steve Coogan.

 

In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics. THE LOST KING is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England's history. You can also check out the first trailer below!
