The blurst of times continues in new trailer for A Tale Of Two Cities
MGM+ cordially invites you to enjoy a new version of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic, starring Kit Harrington, this September.
The winter of despair continues in the new trailer for the Charles Dickens adaptation, A Tale of Two Cities. A joint production between the BBC and MGM+, the streaming service owned by Amazon but separate from Prime Video, this miniseries will feature Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington as Sydney Carton, a young barrister who defends Charles Darnay (François Civil).
Darnay, arrested for treason, has news about Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack), whose father was thought to be dead. Lucie hires Sydney, leading to a love triangle and the classic "best of times, worst of times" drama. For A.V. Club readers familiar with Dickens' revolutionary novel, this adaptation likely won't aid in term papers or midterms. However, it premieres on MGM+ on September 6.
