Crushes come and crushes go, but we’re sticking with this one. Nicholas Galitzine has joined the cast of an upcoming new TV series and we’re already like just tell us when it’s on, because this takes priority.
And it’s a period drama? Consider us already looking forward to season 2, you know if there is one. One can never tell with a period drama, cause for all we know the character dies or something. They were ruthless back in the day and TV executives are ruthless nowadays.
Mary & George is currently filming and is about powerful royal family favorites Mary Villiers and her son George. Now, it’s based on a true story and I would like to know why I have never heard of these peeps. However, someone has and this sounds DRAMATIC.
Julianne Moore will play Mary, Countess of Buckingham, who in the 17th century basically fashioned her son, George (Galitzine), to seduce King James I. Excuse me while I run to see who is playing King James I. The limited series follows the two and they rise to become one of the richest, most titled and influential mother and son duos England had ever seen.
And you thought your Mama was clingy.
The series is inspired by Benjamin Woolley’s nonfiction book The King’s Assassin. Going to have to buy the book so I know what the hell I am watching.
But it’s Nicholas, so count us in regardless.
