Lust. For power.
Created by D.C. Moore
On Sky Atlantic
A bold, visually sumptuous historical miniseries that treats seduction and power-seeking as theatrical performance, blending queer desire with ruthless ambition across seven episodes.
In 17th century England, Mary Villiers molds her beautiful son, George, to seduce King James I, intending to gain riches and influence through outrageous schemes.
