If you watch The Serpent Queen, I do believe that we can agree that this show is bat sh** crazy. However, that’s a compliments, because it means that it’s done unlike any other period piece on Starz. It took the boundaries and said well, lets push them.
And pushing boundaries is what makes me want to watch a show. It’s what makes people interested, because I do believe that we’re all searching for something that is completely different than what is always there. And that’s not a bad thing.
I do believe that part of the allure of The Serpent Queen is the phenomenal acting, but as well, I do believe that we need to give a big kudos to the writers who make sure that we all are kept on the edge of our seats.
We like that possibility.
As we start to rewatch season one in preparation for season 2 , we were thinking about all we know about the upcoming season. Here it is –
WHAT THE SERPENT QUEEN IS ABOUT
The Serpent Queen tells the story of Catherine de Medici (Morton) who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history.
WHAT SEASON 2 IS ABOUT
In season two, Catherine de Medici is Queen Regent of France now that her son, Charles IX has come of age. Distracted by the personal conflicts of the Valois children, a new mysterious prophet named Edith gains a loyal following who vow to challenge the current religious establishment, sparking tension across the country. Feeling threatened by the rising strain, the divided court turn to their own schemes for selfish benefit. The Guises commit unholy acts while the Bourbons turn to a familiar foreign sovereign, Queen Elizabeth I of England in hopes of personal gain.
As France falls into political and religious turmoil, Catherine struggles to maintain her power, but The Serpent Queen will do whatever she needs to regain control.
