Following their prior teaming on “Mildred Pierce” and “Mare Of Easttown,” HBO has released the first trailer showing Kate Winslet in the limited series “The Regime”.
Previously going by the name “The Palace,” the series follows one year behind the palace walls of a modern European regime as it starts to unravel. Previously the synopsis indicated it was an authoritarian regime but that synopsis has since been tweaked.
Hugh Grant, Matthias Schoenaerts, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton, Guillaume Gallienne, Danny Webb, David Bamber, Henry Goodman, Stanley Townsend, Louie Mynett, Rory Keenan, Karl Markovics and Pippa Haywood co-star.
The project hails from “Succession” duo Will Tracy and Frank Rich who executive produce along with Winslet and Tracey Seaward, while Stephen Frears directs. Tracy serves as the showrunner.
The varied writing team includes Sarah DeLappe (“Bodies Bodies Bodies”), New Yorker writer Gary Shteyngart, and various late-night talk show writers, including Seth Reiss, Juli Weiner and Jen Spyra.
Production has been taking place in Austria and the UK ahead of a premiere in 2024. The teaser trailer, which focuses on a meeting between Winslet’s chancellor and a U.S. emissary (Plimpton), was released Wednesday at a Warner Bros. Discovery press event.
