I love historical dramas. From the Tudors to the Serpent Queen, there’s just something delicious about peeking into the lives of the rich and famous from centuries past. Yes, I know artistic licenses are taken – and a lot of what I’ve seen is no where close to the truth, but still, they’re fun – and that’s all I need to be entertained.

The newest series from Sky (STARZ in the states) takes a look at the infamous affair between James VI and George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. Based on the 2017 bestseller The King’s Assassin by Benjamin Woolley, it looks absolutely salacious!

The series will star Nicholas Galitzine (Red, White, & Royal Blue) as Villiers while Academy award winner Julianne Moore will play his mother Mary – the Kris Jenner of her day.

Mary & George will premiere on Tuesday (5 March) and will run for 7 episodes.

More Mary & George soon so…

Stay Tuned!
