Starz has releases a first look at the upcoming second season of historical drama series The Serpent Queen. Check out the teaser.
Based on Leonie Frieda’s best-selling book Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France, biopic-historical drama series The Serpent Queen tells the story of Catherine de Medici (played by two-time Oscar® nominee Samantha Morton, In America, Sweet and Lowdown, Harlots, The Walking Dead), who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history.
Academy Award® nominee Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Chevalier) joins the series in a recurring role as the infamous “Virgin Queen” Elizabeth I, who rivals Catherine in court.
Returning cast includes Danny Kirrane (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Don’t Forget the Driver), Ray Panthaki (Away, Colette), Raza Jaffrey (Homeland, Code Black), Enzo Cilenti (Free Fire, The Last Tycoon), Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones, The Good Karma Hospital), Ruby Bentall (Firebrand, Industry), Beth Goddard (Manhunt, Des), Ludivine Sagnier (Lupin, The Young Pope), and Rupert Everett (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Adult Material).
New series regulars in Season 2 include Angus Imrie (Emma, Fleabag), Emma McDonald (Moonhaven, Low Rider), Stanley Morgan (I Used to Be Famous, The Sandman), and Philippine Velge (Station Eleven, Summer of 85). Joining in recurring roles are Rosalie Craig (1899, Macbeth), Isobel Jesper Jones (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself), Bill Milner (Son of Rambow, The Flatshare), Ashley Thomas (Them, 24: Legacy), and Alexandre Willaume (The Wheel of Time, 1899).
A production of Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment for Starz, the series is written and executive produced by Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road, Red Sparrow, The Lone Ranger). Francis Lawrence (“The Hunger Games” franchise) and Erwin Stoff (The Matrix, 13 Hours, Edge of Tomorrow) are also executive producers.
