By Showtime has premiered the trailer for the eight-episode series “A Gentleman in Moscow” based on the best-selling novel by Amor Towles.
The series follows the character of Count Alexander Rostov (Ewan McGregor), a man whose lavish lifestyle is his downfall following the Russian Revolution.
Deemed an enemy of the state, he manages to avoid execution only to be confined by a Soviet tribunal to a small attic room in the grand Hotel Metropol, under the threat of death if he leaves the premises.
Trapped within the hotel’s walls as historic upheavals rage outside, Rostov’s diminished existence becomes a journey of emotional awakening.
Over decades, he forges a new existence that opens his eyes to the essence of friendship, the bonds of family, and the enduring power of love – all within the hotel’s confines.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alexa Goodall, Johnny Harris, Fehinti Balogun, Leah Harvey, John Heffernan, Paul Ready, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and more co-star.
The series premieres on Paramount+ with Showtime on Friday, March 29th and will be broadcast on the network on March 31st.
