A Mother’s Ambition
Mary is a force to be reckoned with in this new look at the series. She’s climbed her way up, leaving no stone unturned and no route to power unexplored. Her eyes are set on the ultimate prize: becoming one of the king’s most trusted confidants. But how far will she go to protect her family’s name and secure their future?
The Plot Thickens

To make George the king’s indispensable companion, ensuring their rise to the top. Scenes show Mary and George’s seductive quest for power, featuring steamy encounters and alliances.
“Give the King whatever he wants,” Moore says in the trailer. And she means… WHATEVER he wants.
