Save The Dates: Kit Harington's Tale Of Two Cities, AHS: 13 Rollout, And More
Ahead of Industry Season 5, Kit Harington will return to the small screen in a new adaptation of the literary classic A Tale of Two Cities.
Next Sunday, September 6, the acclaimed actor Kit Harington will return to television for a new adaptation of the classic literary tale, "A Tale of Two Cities." The four-part drama, set to premiere on MGM+, will then conclude with its finale on September 27. François Civil and Mirren Mack are set to co-star alongside Harington in this production.
Writer Daniel West and director Richard Clark are behind the project, promising a gripping narrative rooted in the tumultuous era of 1782 London, during the war between France and Britain. A young woman, Lucie Manette, portrayed by Mack, finds her world turned upside down upon receiving a message from Paris. Her father, presumed dead for nearly two decades, may still be alive.
In a daring attempt to uncover the truth, Lucie seeks the assistance of the brilliant yet unconventional lawyer Sydney Carton, played by Harington. Together, they embark on a quest to free Charles Darnay, the French émigré portrayed by Civil, who has been unjustly accused of treason. As Lucie's paths cross with both Darnay and Carton, a powerful love triangle unfolds, with each man vying for her affection.
Despite their striking physical resemblance, Darnay and Carton are spiritually worlds apart, bound together through life, love, and even death. Their intertwined fates weave a tale of triumphs, tragedies, marriage, and murder, set against the backdrop of a city on the brink of chaos.
