Q&A with THE GREAT writer/showrunner/EP Tony McNamara
In season two of THE GREAT, Catherine finally takes the Russian throne for her own — but if she thought coup-ing her husband was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of ‘liberating’ a country that doesn’t want to be.
Catherine will battle her court, her team, even her own mother in a bid to bring the enlightenment to Russia. Meanwhile, she’ll also battle her heart as Peter slowly transitions from much-hated husband, to… prisoner? Ally? Lover?
Ultimately, Catherine will learn that to change a country, you must let it change you, that there is a fine line between idealism and delusion, and that becoming ‘Great’, will ask more of her than she could have imagined.
THE GREAT is available to stream on Hulu.
