The drama series, which will premiere exclusively on StarzPlay in November, serves as a prelude to the classic French novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos by unveiling the origin story of its iconic characters.<\/p>\n
Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont are once again at the heart of the story, played by Alice Englert (Ratched) and Nicholas Denton (Glitch) respectively, meeting in Paris on the brink of revolution.<\/p>\n
