Bill Milner and Samantha Morton in a promo for The Serpent Queen Season 2
The Big Picture When creator Justin Haythe's The Serpent Queen initially premiered on Starz, it quickly asserted itself as being far from any traditional period drama. Sweeping us up into the world of 16th-century France, we're brought into the inner circle of the utterly complicated and compelling Catherine de' Medici, played by Samantha Morton.
The Serpent Queen TV-MADramaHistory 810 Series based on Leonie Frieda's book "Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France." When we meet her in this season, she's had 10 years to rule the country as the Regent, and now her son is finally of age, and it's time for him to take over. It becomes a generational clash. If Season 1 had a long, extended period of time, meaning we had to start with her young and end up with her… This is a much more compact period.
'The Serpent Queen' Season 2 Filmed in Catherine de' Medici's Real Home I wanted to ask about the locations for Season 2, and using Catherine's actual residences during filming. What impact or effect does getting to be on location have? In Season 1, you could speak to Catherine as an antihero pretty significantly, but Season 2 really pushes her a little bit further in that vein, especially in terms of trying to juggle the religious tensions and play both sides of that. What feels really refreshing is we don't get to see many women in a role like this.
