The Serpent Queen tells the story of Catherine de Medici (Morton) who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “In season two, Catherine de Medici is Queen Regent of France now that her son, Charles IX has come of age. Distracted by the personal conflicts of the Valois children, a new mysterious prophet named Edith gains a loyal following who vow to challenge the current religious establishment, sparking tension across the country. Feeling threatened by the rising strain, the divided court turn to their own schemes for selfish benefit. The Guises commit unholy acts while the Bourbons turn to a familiar foreign sovereign, Queen Elizabeth I of England in hopes of personal gain.

As France falls into political and religious turmoil, Catherine struggles to maintain her power, but The Serpent Queen will do whatever she needs to regain control.”

Based on Leonie Frieda’s Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France, The Serpent Queen is written and executive produced by Justin Haythe. Additional executive producers include Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games Franchise) and Erwin Stoff (Edge of Tomorrow). Lionsgate Television and 3 Arts Entertainment produce.
