Ahead of its premiere this March, Max has released a new trailer for the political satire series The Regime which stars Kate Winslet as Elena Vernham, an increasingly paranoid and unstable Chancellor who finds her authoritarian regime start to crumble.
Joining Kate Winslet in the cast are Matthias Schoenaerts, Guillaume Gallienne, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton, and Hugh Grant. Watch the trailer below…
The darkly comedic six-episode series tells the story of life within the walls of a modern authoritarian regime as it begins to unravel. After not leaving the palace for quite some time, Chancellor Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) has grown increasingly paranoid and unstable when she turns to a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts), as an unlikely confidant. As Zubak’s influence over the chancellor continues to grow, Elena’s attempts to expand her power eventually result in both the palace and the country fracturing around her.
The Regime premieres on Max on March 3rd in the US and on Sky this April in the UK.
