Your first look at Oliver Hermanus’s 'Mary & George,' starring Julianne Moore
has played everyone from Virginia Woolf to Maude Lebowski, President Coin to Dora Maar, yet the Oscar and BAFTA winner never signed on for a courtly period drama—until Oliver Hermanus’sLiving
director’s seven-part series recounts the true story of Mary Villiers, mother of the notorious 1st Duke of Buckingham, who effectively ruled England in the latter years of James I’s reign. It’s Mary who’s credited with orchestrating the Duke’s rise to power—drastically elevating her own status in the process. Born into humble circumstances in 1570, she married Sir Villiers, a member of Leicestershire’s minor landed gentry, as a teenager and gave birth to four children.
There, he more than succeeded in his quest to establish himself as a favorite of the monarch—becoming gentleman of the royal bedchamber within a year. He would remain by the besotted King’s side for the next decade, with disastrous consequences for the country. It’s George whose arrogance is credited with leading England into the Anglo-Spanish War, and whose political machinations indirectly led to the beheading of James’s son, Charles I.
