"The Serpent Queen is distinctly modern, darkly comedic, and completely unexpected," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming, Starz. "Catherine de Medici's story is the perfect complement to our female-forward slate, and Samantha Morton's brilliant portrayal of this ruthless, charming and savvy queen anchors the whole production. We're thrilled to unveil more of her incredible life and reign in season two, which promises to be even more provocative and sublime."
