Huzzah! Hulu Renews 'The Great' for Season 3
Huzzah! Hulu has confirmed that their critically acclaimed period drama The Great will be back for a third season.
The news of its ten-episode renewal was announced this week during Disney's Television Critics Association winter press tour session, though no details about Season 3's potential plot or possible casting additions were revealed. (And, quite frankly, are probably not yet known.)
The series comes from Oscar-winner Tony McNamara (The Favourite) and stars Elle Fanning as Empress Catherine the Great, the longest-reigning female monarch in Russian history. Nicholas Hoult plays her generally hapless, often charming, occasionally violent husband Peter. Offbeat, irreverent, and largely historically inaccurate, the show is a surprisingly deft exploration of the roles of women in power and the difficult compromises they must often make to stay there,.
