Yesterday we got a first look at Gillian Anderson’s Joanna in the second season of The Great, and now Hulu has released a new trailer for the satirical historical comedy drama which sees Catherine (Elle Fanning) and her husband Peter (Nicholas Hoult) continue to battle for the throne; watch it here…
“Catherine 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 (played by guest star Gillian Anderson) in a bid to bring the Enlightenment to Russia. Meanwhile, she’ll also battle her heart as Peter slowly transitions from a much-hated husband to a 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. ”
Season two of The Great is set to premiere on November 19th.
