Bringing the Wild, Decadent World of ‘The Great’ to Life | Hulu

An unassuming building in the heart of East London is transformed into an imaginative interpretation of 18th century Russia for this wildly satirical, history-bending new series. From the lavish ballrooms to the gold-leaf candelabras, creator and writer Tony McNamara and production designer Francesca Di Mottola describe the intricacies of creating the “unpolished, realistic, decadent” kingdom of Emperor Peter (Nicholas Hoult) that a young Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) walks into as she is married off to the tempestuous ruler. Costume designer Emma Fryer discusses charting Catherine’s arc through her clothing, and bringing a contemporary aesthetic to period costumery with modern fabrics. Explore the details that bring the colorful, seductive and dangerous world of Peter and Catherine’s story to life.

Look, I have always known Elle Fanning was American but every time she does an interview, I am constantly surprised that she isn’t English

[@brxsncz]

just finished watching for one day. this series was just the best I had streamed this year (imo) and it's a masterpiece, honestly. everyone's performances were an award worthy especially elle fanning and nicholas hoult. if they didn't get nominated on the golden globes or emmy, i'll riot.

[@psijicassassin7166]

Girl, the video was about the production design, not the chemistry and acting of the actors. Get out of their bedroom and breath some fresh air. LOL

[@lone-welf]

i adore how much detail they put in. so much respect.

[@Divine_Chareka]

The quality of this show is the reason why it's became one of my favourite tv shows under the sun

[@wendyp8488]

I thought thought they filmed this in location in real castles with antique furniture. I am SO IMPRESSED at the set designers and prop creators for creating all of this. Wow ⭐️

[@Nellielynn]

IF THERE IS NO SEASON 2 TO THIS ,I WILL NEVER BE WHOLE AGAIN .

[@barbarablue2571]

Yes, this mere idea hurts ...not season 2

It's coming on November I think

[@gingerisevil02]

I never anticipated how much I would love this show.

[@barbiquearea]

This reminds me a lot of Marie Antoinette. In fact I actually thought Sofia Coppola was involved.

[@junjunagbayani4792]

If "Marie Antoinette" and "Death of Stalin" came together

[@issecret1]

@@junjunagbayani4792 that's so accurate

[@ballou1778]

I've already finished and love it, but now I don't know what to do😭😥😢

[@rexrivers2220]

The show does and doesn’t have Does have Elle Fanning, strong women, great history and a interesting story. Doesn’t have other streaming such as on Netflix 😭.

[@barbiquearea]

But at least its on Stan.

A true masterpiece of a show! Binged watched it especially because of the handsome and witty Nicholas Hoult. His chemistry with Elle Fanning is lovely! ❤️

You guys should take ads off of the 5.99 plan it’s ridiculous that people are paying to get bombarded by ads and if they dont want ads the have to pay extra yall are a multimillionaire company how greedy can you be smh

[@briangarrow448]

Hilarious series. This is the first production I have watched in over 5 years, since I moved to a rural location without a high speed internet connection.

[@kennywilliams123]

Just finished season 1…it’s very entertaining, elle fanning is a vision that lights up every scene she’s in…a beautiful face that the camera loves.

[@psijicassassin7166]

Girl, the video was about the production design, not the chemistry and acting of the actors. Stop the gushy fangirling and rein in those hormones. LOL

[@dontquitdreamsarepossible]

Love this show

[@danielapenaherrera9294]

This show is brilliant

[@wysiwyg2006]

watching this on 4OD. i thought the interiors were on location in national trust palaces etc. They look very impressive for sets, maybe in person you can see more of the roughness. Rain doesnt show up on camera unless its torrential so maybe the same with detail even on 4K

[@gaeulsblondehair]

Season 2 please.

[@rachelcheung4882]

The archie character was on breaking bad

This is a great show. See what I did there?

[@nicholasthebest9993]

Why are the British all so sexually preoccupied? At least in their tv shows

[@nicholasthebest9993]

Both Americans and British

[@psijicassassin7166]

Only spoiled giggle middle-class schoolgirls. Peasants are too tired to think about it after a slogging day's exploitation by the nobility.

Jesus Christ is our lord and savior! Repent for your sins! God loves you unconditionally! John 3:16 repent!!!!

[@federicoamato7309]

After watching the first episode I would like to say that for anyone who is roughly familiar with history , the way in which the production maliciously twisted reality to make ideological points is extremely disgusting. Such efforts have the sole result of limiting the audience understanding of the complexity of societal issues. It is such a pity that an amazing and thought-provoking story was twisted into such a dull and unimaginative product. You did a worse job than the Patriot, and that's saying everything

[@lexi9598]

They clearly state that they weren't aiming for accuracy. Why aren't you understanding this?

[@federicoamato7309]

​@@lexi9598 I'm not sure about the claim I did not understand it. Aside insults, to expect historical accuracy is sometimes difficult, since, despite the great number of documents, many things are not to be known. However, I do mind the political motives which are entailed in the distortion. If distortions were made to produce a more compelling story, or smartly filling a gap, I would not mind that (take for instance Agora, a rather good movie about Ipazia. Changes were made, but with such wit and sensitivity to the mindset of the period that they do no bother at all, but they rather enrich the story. I understand that, if one is not familiar with history, or possesses a naive and distorted notion of society, could enjoy such a show (as long as it proves your ideological point) and I should have expected rude answers such as yours, but my point was entirely different. I hope I made myself clear

[@gingerisevil02]

Lexi apparently it's malicious because the concept of the show at its core is about a woman who has ideals for humanity and feels she's meant for greatness but being a woman holds her back, thus, it's a "comedy", because god made her a woman. That's the whole pretense of the show and I'm guessing that is what truly irks him the most. He can't relate to these conflicts and finds them offensive so it's "dull."

[@rhiannonm6022]

It's comedic. It's not a documentary. It doesn't even claim to be accurate. In fact the trailer says "based on a true story *sort of" which is obviously a joke as they know it isn't history accurate, because they didn't even try to make so. They took a historic event and moulded it into an exciting new story of their own.

[@nikolaantonijevic5293]

@@gingerisevil02 concept of the show is to further a political agenda. Apparently racism towards Russians is a positive thing. Denigrating their culture, religion, peoples, is now considered comedy.
