Season 1
Experience Rome in 52 BC, a cosmopolitan metropolis of a million defined by extraordinary wealth, violent cruelty, untold filth, dog-eat-dog competition and massive poverty. Wives are coveted, power corrupts and murderers go free in the magnificent series “as extravagant, enticing and chaotic as Rome itself ” (USA Today). Julius Caesar has conquered Gaul and returns after eight years to a Republic whose foundations have been eaten away by corruption and excess. Two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo unwittingly become entwined in a fierce battle that becomes the vivid centerpiece of this acclaimed drama co-produced by the BBC and HBO. Starring Polly Walker (Emma, Waking the Dead), Ciarán Hinds (Road to Perdition) James Purefoy (A Knight’s Tale), Lindsay Duncan (Under the Tuscan Sun), Kevin McKidd (Nicholas Nickleby) and Ray Stevenson (King Arthur). Recommended for mature viewers.

Season 2
Winner of several Emmys® and nominated for numerous BAFTA® and Golden Globes®, the historic collaboration between the BBC and HBO returns for a second season. In the void left by Julius Caesar’s assassination, egos clash and numerous players jockey for position. The brutally ambitious Mark Antony (James Purefoy) attempts to solidify his power, aligning himself with Atia (Polly Walker) but coming to blows with her cunning son Octavian, who has been anointed in Caesar’s will as his only son and heir. And once again, the fates of fellow soldiers and unlikely friends Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus seem inexorably tied to the fate of the empire. “Brilliant”—Variety. Recommended for mature viewers.
