Samantha Morton in The Serpent Queen Season 2 Interview Featured Image
Summary The Serpent Queen Season 2 premiered on July 12 with the first two episodes currently available to stream on STARZ. New installments drop on the app on Fridays at midnight and air on the network at 8:00pm ET. Picking up years after Charles IX is crowned king of France, the latest batch of episodes focuses on Catherine de Medici's attempt to stay in control of the country while simultaneously balancing her family life.
Screen Rant chats with Samantha Morton about power struggles, the complexities of motherhood, and Catherine's psychic abilities in The Serpent Queen Season 2. Her father-in-law obviously died. I don't think it's just a Machiavellian desire to rule a country. It's about caring for the population and, quite frankly, a necessity to prevent war, certainly holy war. I think the show is lots of fun, but the show is also a historical drama based on a lot of truth, and Catherine is thinking a hundred years into the future, making decisions that are about such serious, serious matters that other people don't seem to understand.
Morton Was Curious To See How The Serpent Queen Season 2 Would Bring Catherine And Elizabeth Together Season 1 played with the idea that Catherine may have psychic powers or abilities. Is that something we will learn more about in season 2? Today we have things where we say, "I've got a gut instinct about this." We're all thinking about drinking kombucha and apple cider vinegar, because we want to take care of our gut, because the gut is the second brain, apparently. But these people back in history, they knew all of this. They knew if you eat that mushroom, you're gonna go down that road. It's the Alice in Wonderland.
It was exciting to work with Minnie Driver, who I've been a big fan of for a very long time, and to get to do some really amazing scenes with an amazing actress, but also, two very strong women being on the screen together. We think about Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, films like that. It's great when we see formidable women acting opposite each other. It's brilliant, I think. I was just so happy I got to do that.
