Acclaimed actress Gillian Anderson, fresh from her celebrated role as Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, is set to command the screen once again in Netflix's upcoming limited series The Palace.
The gripping political thriller, based on Katherine Soper's novel, unfolds within the crumbling walls of a dystopian government. Anderson will portray a formidable civil servant whose unwavering loyalty to the regime is tested as the entire political structure begins to implode around her.
A Stellar Cast Joins the Political Intrigue
Anderson won't be navigating the corridors of power alone. She'll be joined by an impressive ensemble cast including the phenomenal Micheal Ward (Top Boy, The Beautiful Game) and the incomparable Ruth Wilson (His Dark Materials, The Affair).
This powerhouse trio is set to deliver captivating performances in a story that promises to be both timely and terrifying.
Behind the Scenes of The Palace
The series boasts an equally impressive creative team. It is directed by the Oscar-nominated Roman Polanski and written by the BAFTA-nominated Will Tracy (Succession, The Menu).
Described as a tale about "one year in the residence of a crumbling regime," the show will explore how a single, central authority attempts to maintain control as its foundation cracks and splinters.
Production for this highly anticipated limited series is scheduled to commence later this year, with Netflix set to stream the drama globally.
