Feast Your Eyes On Gillian Anderson As Catherine’s Mother In Season Two Of The Great

The first look at Gillian Anderson in season two of Hulu’s The Great has been released. Anderson is set to play Joanna, Catherine’s mother in the season, set to premiere on November 19.

“In season two of The Great, Catherine (Elle Fanning) finally takes the Russian throne for her own — but if she thought coup-ing her husband was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of ‘liberating’ a country that doesn’t want to be. She’ll battle her court, her team, even her own mother in a bid to bring the enlightenment to Russia. Meanwhile she’ll also battle her heart as Peter slowly transitions from much-hated husband, to prisoner? Ally? Lover? Ultimately Catherine will learn that to change a country, you must let it change you, that there is a fine line between idealism and delusion, and that becoming ‘Great’, will ask more of her than she could have imagined.”
