The Regime debuted on HBO March 3, and sees Kate Winslet as Chancellor Elena Vernham, an autocrat atop a fictional European country. Things are not going well for Vernham, or for her country. Increasingly paranoid, she fears, among other things, that her palace is being overtaken by mold. Her aides tap a soldier, played by Mattias Schoenaerts, to walk in front of the chancellor with a device that measures humidity in the room. The pair grows awkwardly close, and the soldier emerges as a vital confidant to the chancellor.
Will Tracy is the showrunner and Stephen Frears directs.
