The Regime teaser trailer: Kate Winslet unravels while wielding immense power in the upcoming HBO limited series
Kate Winslet is striking fear into the hearts of her not-so-loyal subjects in HBO‘s The Regime teaser trailer. From Will Tracy and Frank Rich, the complex minds behind Succession, comes a limited series about power, corruption, and subterfuge.
The Regime “tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel.”
“Since I became your Chancellor, we have grown considerably as a country. It is time to show America and the world precisely what we are worth,” Winslet’s Chancellor says in The Regime teaser trailer while addressing a crowd, asserting her authority. The vibes in the room quickly become hostile, eliciting fear and confusion about who’s in charge of the population’s wellbeing.
Joining the previously announced cast of Kate Winslet (Titanic, Avatar: The Way of Water, Mare of Easttown), Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone, The Danish Girl, Red Sparrow), Guillaume Gallienne (Marie Antoinette, Maryline, Yves Saint Laurent), Andrea Riseborough (Possessor, Oblivion), Martha Plimpton (The Goonies, Beautiful Girls, Running on Empty) and Hugh Grant (Wonka, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, About a Boy), the newly announced cast members include Danny Webb, David Bamber, Henry Goodman, Stanley Townsend, Louie Mynett, Rory Keenan, Karl Markovics, and Pippa Haywood.
Will Tracy serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Executive producers are Kate Winslet, Stephen Frears, Frank Rich, and Tracey Seaward. Jessica Hobbs serves as co-executive producer, with Seth Reiss, Juli Weiner, Jen Spyra, Gary Shteyngart, and Sarah DeLappe on scripting duties.
Stephen Frears (The Queen) directs, with the limited series premiering on HBO and streaming on Max on Sunday, March 3, 2024.
Desperation to control a situation (let alone a people and territory) can quickly spiral out of control if even one piece of the puzzle is out of place. Winslet’s Chancellor could place her trust in the wrong person, digging the rabbit hole deeper. Knowing the quality and trajectory of Succession, I’m convinced everything will go swimmingly. Ah, who am I kidding? The Regime teaser trailer makes the Chancellor’s reign look like an unmitigated disaster with possibly deadly consequences. I can’t wait to watch it all burn!
