The first look at the series shows Helen Mirren as Empress Catherine in her private quarters, which are modelled on the original Russian palaces and surrounded by hand-copied paintings from the Hermitage.
The show is currently filming in palaces and sets throughout Russia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The four-part epic will follow the later years of Catherine’s 34-year reign, as she builds Russia’s reputation as one of the great powers of Europe.
It is the third commission from Sky and HBO’s high-end global drama partnership.
Catherine the Great will air on Sky Atlantic and TV streaming service, NOW TV, in the UK and Ireland next year.Explore more on these topics:
