Starz has high confidence in its new take on “Dangerous Liaisons” with the cabler handing out an early second-season renewal ahead of the show’s premiere this coming weekend.
The modern reimagining serves as a prelude to the famed 18th-century novel, showcasing pre-revolution Paris at its most decadent. Starz’s Kathryn Busby says: “We are confident that by the end of season one viewers will be craving more scheming and seduction.”
Harriet Warner (“Call the Midwife”) is showrunner of the series, which offers an origin story of how the iconic characters, the Marquise de Merteuil (Alice Englert) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Nicholas Denton), met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the revolution.
Lesley Manville, Kosar Ali, Carice van Houten, Hilton Pelser, Fisayo Akinade, and Michael McElhatton co-star in the series that premieres November 6th.
