Nicholas Galitzine - "Mary & George" Trailer

Nicholas Galitzine and Julianne Moore stars in trailer for their new series "Mary & George".

The upcoming seven-part series is “inspired by the scandalous true story of a treacherous mother and son who schemed, seduced and killed to conquer the Court of England and the bed of King James I.”

Julianne stars as “Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham, who in 17th century England molded her beautiful son, George, to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become one of the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King’s most trusted advisors.”

Nicholas “plays her son, George Villiers, a naïve romantic who alongside his ruthless mother was prepared to stop at nothing to get to the top and prove to himself that he can be defined by more than just his beauty and make his mark on history.”

Tony Curran will portray “King James I, whose desire to be loved and subservient to ambitious and beautiful young men, makes him dangerously at risk of being exploited by tyrannical lovers to the likes of Mary & George.”

Also in the cast are 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.

"Mary & George" will premiere on Friday, April 5th on the Starz.
