The Romans — Dottie (Susan Sarandon) and Albie (Trace Adkins) — are passionate and fiercely talented, but while their name is synonymous with honesty, the very foundation of this family’s success is a lie.

The Serpent Queen

At 14, the young, orphaned Catherine (Liv Hill) marries into the 16th-century French court. Despite her commoner status, her uncle Pope Clement (Charles Dance) has negotiated a large dowry and a geopolitical alliance in return for the union.
