Gillian Anderson Is Here To Fuck Shit Up In The Trailer For The Great S2, Stan’s Ye Olde Series

Stan has just dropped the hotly anticipated trailer for period dramedy series The Great and I think I speak for all of us when I say: “Huzzah!”

Lead stars Elle Fanning (Super 8) and Nicholas Hoult (Stan’s True History of the Kelly Gang) are back for another round of ye olde fun, only this time they’re joined by legendary actress Gillian Anderson.

In total there’ll be 10 episodes, have a read of the season 2 plot below:

In season two of The Great, Catherine finally takes the Russian throne for her own — but if she thought coup-ing her husband was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of ‘liberating’ a country that doesn’t want to be. She’ll battle her court, her team, even her own mother (played by guest star Gillian Anderson) in a bid to bring the enlightenment to Russia. Meanwhile she’ll also battle her heart as Peter slowly transitions from much-hated husband, to prisoner? Ally? Lover? Ultimately Catherine will learn that to change a country, you must let it change you, that there is a fine line between idealism and delusion, and that becoming ‘Great’, will ask more of her than she could have imagined.

Aaaaaand have a geeze at the super fun trailer below:

The Great season 2 premieres 20 November, same day as the US and only on Stan.

Every episode of The Great season 1 is now streaming.
