Fancy seeing Kate Winslet breaking bad? Me too, so the new trailer for The Regime is very exciting. The new Max show is a political satire that features Winslet as a terrifying political heavyweight in a (we think) fictional European country – a country that, under her iron rule, may be heading for a very dark place indeed. With Martha Plimpton as the US Secretary of State assigned to the country, Succession writer Will Tracey plotting and Stephen Frears directing, this looks like it's going to be a delicious and possibly darkly disturbing treat.
The Regime was originally called The Palace but the new title for one of the best streaming services appears to be a much better reflection of the show. It's about a political empire unraveling and sliding into chaos as Winslet's Chancellor loses her grip on reality. According to HBO's executive vice president of programming, Francesca Orsi, the scripts are "wildly original, prescient, and dazzling".
