kidnapped and converted to Catholicism. The film opens in 1858 in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, where the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year-old son. The child had been secretly baptized by his nurse as a baby and the papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education. Edgardo’s parents, distraught, will do anything to get their son back. Supported by public opinion and the international Jewish community, the Mortaras’ struggle quickly takes a political dimension. But the Church and the Pope will not agree to return the child, to consolidate an increasingly wavering power. Starring Paolo Pierobon, Fausto Russo Alesi, Barbara Ronchi, Enea Sala and Leonardo Maltese, it will be released in Italy May 25th, and in France in November.

LAUNCHES MARCH & APRIL

We did not really expect that the first major period set drama of 2020 will arrive to us only in March, but the broadcasters have been very mean to us in the first two months of the year and thus BELGRAVIA will be the first of the bigger costume series to launch the new decade when it starts airing on March 15th on British ITV and then from April 12th over at Epix in USA. Produced by Carnival Film it will air in just six hourlong episodes with Jamestown's John Alexander directing the whole saga based on Julian Fellowes' 2016 book of the same name set in the 19th century when the upper echelons of society began to rub

     WINT/SPRING 2020 EPIC SHOWS
 THE LUMINARIES
 Arriving sometime very soon (probably sooner to New Zealand than to BBC) is the six episode adaptation of Eleanor Catton's book THE LUMINARIES starring Marton Csokas, Eva Green, Eve Hewson and Callan Mulvey. It is an adventure mystery set in the midst of New Zealand's 1860's gold rush. Expect a trailer very soon.

THE PALE HORSE
 BBC is entering the race first as it will start airing their latest  Agatha Christie series THE PALE HORSE from February 9th.

MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE
 A&E will greet spring with new six part period set drama MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE starring Kate Phillips as London's first Victorian female detective with Stuart Martin playing her partner. It will air on UKTV's Alibi channel and on PBS Masterpiece in USA. In Germany it will air on RTL, in Australia on Seven Network.

    THE NORTH WATER 
BBC will also grace us with Arctic set four episode thriller series THE NORTH WATER based on the novel by Ian McGuire. Colin Farrell and Jack O'Connell star in a story set in a 19th century whaling expedition to the Arctic where an army surgeon finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland.

BELGRAVIA
Easter will, meanwhile, bring us Julian Fellowes' new 19th century set costume drama BELGRAVIA set to air on Epix from April 12th and possibly a bit earlier on ITV in UK.  It follows events decades after a crucial ball ahead of the battle of Waterloo when the emerging nouveau riche, including the Trenchard family, rub shoulders with London's established upper classes, and when secrets from the past threaten to emerge.

     THE GREAT 
Hulu will meanwhile, end the spring season with three part historical comedy THE GREAT in which Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult play Catherine the Great and Peter of Russia. The series offers an anti-historical ride through 18th century Russia following the wildly comic rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great. It is out May 15th.
