The Great

Gillian Anderson leaves Number 10 Downing Street behind for Imperial Russia, will play Catherine the Great's mother in Season 2 of the hit Hulu show The Great.

Huzzah! The Great, Hulu's frothy, inaccurate and utterly delightful take on the life of a young Catherine the Great, will officially return for a second season. 

Hulu's satirical new period drama The Great doesn't tell the story of Catherine the Great with anything close to accuracy, but it's charting a bold course for the future of the genre as a whole. 

The full trailer for Hulu's upcoming period comedy take on the life of Russian Empress Catherine the Great is here - and The Great feels every inch like The Favourite for the small screen. 

Hulu's period comedy take on the life of Catherine the Great - simply known as The Great  - will arrive this spring, from the writer of Oscar-winning film The Favourite.
