New Show About The Russian Royal Family Stars Everyone
Amazon Prime has finally released footage of The Romanoffs, the new limited anthology series from Emmy-winner Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), which features an A-list cast, traverses three continents and seven countries, and tells eight stories bound by the legendary Russian royal family name. Little about the plot is known beyond that, and here’s the trailer –
Just how many great actors are taking part in the project? There are blink-and-you’ll-miss-it introductions to characters played by the likes of Isabelle Huppert, Diane Lane, Aaron Eckhart, Amanda Peet, Paul Reiser, Kathryn Hahn, Corey Stoll, and many others, not to mention Mad Men alums Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jay R. Ferguson and Cara Buono.
Amazon is keeping the plot descriptions of each episode under wraps, but has confirmed that the first instalments will be titled ‘The Violet Hour’ (featuring Eckhart) and ‘The Royal We’ (featuring Stoll) respectively.
Unlike most of the streaming service’s shows, The Romanoffs will follow the format of Better Call Saul and stream one episode per week rather than dropping the entire first season at once. However, we will get a one-off double bill of ‘The Violet Hour’ and ‘The Royal We’ on launch day.
The Romanoffs premieres on Friday, October 12, 2018.
