Check Out New Stills from “The Great” starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult
New photos from Hulu’s new series, The Great have been released. The series stars Elle Fanning as Catherine and Nicholas Hoult as Peter.
“The Great is a satirical, comedic drama about the rise of Catherine the Great from outsider to the longest reigning female ruler in Russia’s history. Season One is a fictionalized, fun and anachronistic story of an idealistic, romantic young girl, who arrives in Russia for an arranged marriage to the mercurial Emperor Peter.
Hoping for love and sunshine, she finds instead a dangerous, depraved, backward world that she resolves to change. All she has to do is kill her husband, beat the church, baffle the military and get the court onside. A very modern story about the past which encompasses the many roles she played over her lifetime as lover, teacher, ruler, friend, and fighter.”
The Great will premiere on Hulu on May 15.
