Trailer for the Epic Roman Historical Drama Series DOMINA Season 2
MGM+ has released the trailer for its upcoming epic historical drama series Domina, which is set “during one of the most provocative periods in Roman history.” The story centers on the rise of Gaius/Emperor Augustus Caesar’s third wife, Livia Drusilla, who is played by Kasia Smutniak (Perfetti Sconosciuti, Loro, Devils).
The next chapter in the series chronicles “the struggle for control of the Roman Empire, and of Rome’s Imperial Family, from a rare female perspective. In its first season, Livia Drusilla, the golden girl of the prominent Claudii family, returned to Rome after 10 years in exile, determined to regain everything that was stolen from her. Now, atop a fractious empire and a dysfunctional dynasty, she must fight to preserve her marriage to Gaius and find a way to seat one of her sons on the throne, as new and old rivals jockey for position in a world where it’s impossible to know who to trust.”
The series also stars Livia Drusilla, alongside series regulars Matthew McNulty (Gaius Julius Caesar), Liah O’Prey (Julia), Ben Batt (Agrippa), Ewan Horrocks (Drusus), Claire Forlani (Octavia), Darrell D’Silva (Piso), Christine Bottomley (Scribonia), and Alais Lawson (Marcella). New cast members include Benjamin Isaac (Holmes & Watson) joining in the role of Tiberius, Joelle (Dune, The School for Good and Evil) as Vipsania, and David Avery (Doctor Who, The Inbetweeners Movie) as young aristocrat Domitius.
The series is created by Simon Burke (Fortitude, Strike Back), with Burke, and it premieres on MGM+ on July 9th with two new episodes.
