aghst February 23 Share February 23 So here is a description of this limited series and the creative team behind it. Quote Kate Winslet To Star In Authoritarian Limited Series ‘The Palace’ For HBO From Will Tracy & Stephen Frears Kate Winslet has found her latest HBO limited series. The Mare of Easttown star will star in and exec produce The Palace, a series that tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of an authoritarian regime as it begins to unravel. The limited drama, which has been ordered to series by the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned network, comes from Succession duo Will Tracy and Frank Rich and The Queen director Stephen Frears. Tracy, a writer and producer on the Brian Cox-fronted HBO drama, will serve as showrunner, writer and exec producer. Frears, who has recently directed series such as BBC/Amazon co-pro A Very English Scandal and ITV/Sundance co-pro Quiz, will direct and exec produce. Remarkably, it marks the first time that the two Brits – Winslet and Frears – have worked together. Frank Rich, who has been a longtime creative consultant for HBO and is an exec producer on Succession and Veep, will also exec produce. https://deadline.com/2022/07/kate-winslet-authoritarian-limited-series-the-palace-hbo-1235077969/ On paper it should be good. Winslett and HBO have a great track record with Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown. Who knows, maybe after this airs, people will wish she'd done another season of Mare of Easttown, even though that show was always conceived of as a limited series, one season and done. 2 Link to comment
AnimeMania February 24 Share February 24 The Regime is a 6 episode TV Series airing Sunday, March 3, 2024 on HBO at 9pm. The Regime formerly known as "The Palace" is very loosely modeled on the events of Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's former dictator and events in modern day Russia and its imprisonment of opposition politicians. Filmed in Austria, The Regime tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel. Guillaume Gallienne as the husband of Chancellor Elena Vernham Kate Winslet as Chancellor Elena Vernham of an unnamed European country Matthias Schoenaerts as Corporal Herbert "The Butcher" Zubak Andrea Riseborough as the chief minister, "Palace Manager", the Chancellor's right-hand woman. Martha Plimpton as an American envoy, the U.S. Secretary of State Hugh Grant as the Leader of the Opposition whose imprisonment inspires widespread public protests. Rory Keenan as Peter Danny Webb David Bamber Henry Goodman Stanley Townsend Louie Mynett Karl Markovics Pippa Haywood 1 Link to comment
marinw February 24 Share February 24 I’m looking forward to this. The US Secretary of State looks a LOT like Hilary Clinton. That can’t be a coincidence. 2 Link to comment
