So, I had the opportunity to go to the Los Angeles Red Carpet for the new STARZ Series, Mary and George! The series is based on Benjamin Woolley’s non-fiction book “The King’s Assassin: The Plot to Murder King James I“. The series portrays Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore), as grooming her son (Nicholas Galitzine) to seduce King James I (Tony Curran). This led to them becoming one of the wealthiest, most titled, and most significant mother-son partnerships in England’s history.

So, I had a chance to talk to the stars of the series, Nicholas Galatzine (Red, White, and Royal Blue) and Tony Curran (Mayflies). I also spoke with Executive Producer Liza Marshall and costume designer, Annie Symons.

MORE ABOUT THE SERIES

Mary & George is a historical drama featuring Julianne Moore in a leading role, inspired by the true story of a cunning mother and son who rose from modest origins to prominence within the British monarchy during the 17th century. Drawing from Benjamin Woolley’s non-fiction book “The King’s Assassin: The Plot to Murder King James I,” the series depicts Mary Villiers, portrayed by Julianne Moore, orchestrating her son’s seduction of King James I, leading to their establishment as one of England’s most affluent, esteemed, and influential mother-son duos.

“Mary Villiers was a woman who through her own actions rose to become a powerful and influential figure in Jacobean London,” says Julianne Moore. “It’s a daunting but exhilarating challenge to bring her to life on screen.”

Mary and George Premiere on April 4th, 2024 on STARZ!
