Plot Synopsis

MARY & GEORGE is a seven-part limited series that's inspired by Benjamin Woolley's nonfiction book, "The King's Assassin," which tells the scandalous true story of a treacherous mother and son who schemed, seduced and killed to conquer the Court of England and the bed of King James I. In 17th century England, Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham, molded her beautiful son, George, to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become one of the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King's most trusted advisors. George is a naive romantic who alongside his ruthless mother was prepared to stop at nothing to get to the top and prove to himself that he can be defined by more than just his beauty and make his mark on history. King James I, whose desire to be loved and subservient to ambitious and beautiful young men, makes him dangerously at risk of being exploited by tyrannical lovers to the likes of Mary and George. MARY & GEORGE made its U.S. debut on Friday, April 5, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT on Starz.
