SEASON SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Great: Season One<\/em><\/strong> is a satirical comedic drama about the rise of Catherine the Great (ELLE FANNING). From creator and Academy Award Nominated writer, Tony McNamara, comes a fictionalized, fun and anachronistic story of an idealistic, romantic young girl who honors an arranged marriage to the mercurial Russian Emperor Peter (NICHOLAS HOULT). Instead of love and sunshine, she finds a dangerous, depraved and backward world. Catherine becomes driven to change Russia and fulfill her destiny as the longest-reigning female ruler in Russia’s history. All she has to do is kill her husband, beat the church, baffle the military and get the court on her side.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
