The Great
2020 · Released · 50 min · United Kingdom, United States · English
The Great (titled onscreen as The Great: An Occasionally True Story and in one episode as The Great: An Almost Entirely Untrue Story) is a British-American absurdist satirical dark comedy–drama historical fiction television series, very loosely based on the rise to power of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia. The series stars Elle Fanning as Catherine, and Nicholas Hoult as both Emperor Peter III and Peter's body double Yemelyan Pugachev. The Great was created, and mostly written, by Australian playwright and screenwriter Tony McNamara, based on his 2008 play of the same name. The series, which aired on Hulu, does not aim for historical accuracy; Hulu promotional materials described it as "anti-historical".
