The new historical psychodrama, Mary & George premieres this Friday, April 5, on Crave with Starz in Canada.
Julianne Moore stars as Mary Villiers, a woman of humble beginnings and formidable ambition who moulds her second son, George (Nicholas Galitzine), to seduce King VI of Scotland and I of England (Tony Curran) and becomes his all-powerful lover.
Always the smartest person in the room, Mary is never able to realize her full potential until she spots an opportunity to take advantage of the King’s voracious appetite for fine wine, fine company, and fine men. George, naïvely beautiful and charismatic, is thrust into the spotlight as his mother masterminds their pursuit of the King. Through audacious scheming and seduction, Mary and George claw their way to the centre of the Court to become the most powerful family in England. But as George grows in power, his relationship with his mother will be pushed to the very limits. George must prove that he can be defined by more than just his beauty. He must make his mark on history, no matter the consequences.
Mary & George also stars Nicola Walker, Niamh Algar, Trine Dyrholm, Sean Gilder, Adrian Rawlins, Mark O’Halloran, Laurie Davidson, Samuel Blenkin, Jacob McCarthy, Tom Victor, Alice Grant, Amelia Gething, Mirren Mack, Rina Mahoney, and Simon Russell Beale.
All seven episodes of Mary & George began streaming in the U.K. on Sky on March 5. The series will also stream on Starz in the U.S. beginning this Friday.
New episodes Mary & George will stream on Crave with Starz in Canada each Friday, with the series also airing on Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Starz in Canada.
