Speaking about bringing Catherine to life on screen, writer and executive producer Justin Haythe (A Cure for Wellness) told\u00a0the\u00a0Hollywood Reporter:<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cWriting Catherine and her story has been truly exciting as she is a very complex leading character who becomes a skilled ruler, battling extraordinary political and personal odds throughout her reign.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cShe is a Queen who defies convention, as she relies upon her intellect, her unusual entourage and a ready supply of black magic inspiring, centuries later, the Evil Queen of fairy tales.\u201d<\/p>\n Often depicted as brutal and villainous by historians, Catherine de Medici is given a carefully nuanced portrait in The Serpent Queen.<\/p>\n Haythe added: \u201cYou have to really wonder if this is an evil person with shards of good, or it\u2019s a good person who\u2019s capable of evil to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n At the Television Critics Association summer press tour in August 2022, Morton shared her thoughts on the \u201cfascinating, complex, alluring, and devastating\u201d part.<\/p>\n \u201cBearing in mind she\u2019s Italian, I had this sense that she was almost like a don in\u00a0The Godfather,\u201d Morton said. \u201cShe\u2019s someone that\u2019s very reserved. She thinks things through. She doesn\u2019t feel the need to have knee-jerk reactions to anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch The Serpent Queen.<\/p>\n The Serpent Queen is set to premiere at midnight on the\u00a0STARZ\u00a0app<\/a> on 11th September 2022.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n The Serpent Queen is airing on STARZ in the US from\u00a011th September 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the UK, the series will be available from the same day on\u00a0STARZPLAY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can\u00a0sign up for Starz US<\/a>\u00a0to watch The Serpent Queen, or can access\u00a0STARZPLAY through Amazon Prime Video<\/a>\u00a0in the UK.<\/p>\n Based on the non-fiction book Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France by Leonie Frieda, the series jumps between two timelines to explore Catherine\u2019s history and present.<\/p>\n The flashback timeline follows a young Catherine arriving from Italy to marry King Henry II, only to discover on her wedding night that her husband has eyes for another woman.<\/p>\n The young series will then chronicle Catherine\u2019s rise to power against all odds.<\/p>\n As the official synopsis reads: \u201cWith her future suddenly uncertain and with little hope of conceiving, Catherine must quickly learn who she can trust \u2013 both within her personal entourage of courtiers and the members of the royal court \u2013 while outmaneuvering anyone who underestimates her determination to survive at any cost.\u201d<\/p>\n The Serpent Queen will become\u00a0available to stream on STARZ<\/a> in the US and on STARZPLAY<\/a> in the UK from\u00a011th September 2022.
