The Serpent Queen Series on Starz tells the story of Catherine de Medici, who, against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history.
What is the Series About?
The tale unfolds through flashbacks as Catherine defends her actions and imparts the lessons she’s learned to her new servant confident, Rahima. At 14, the young, orphaned Catherine marries into the 16th-century French court.
Despite her commoner status, her uncle Pope Clement has negotiated a large dowry and a geopolitical alliance in return for the union. With it comes the expectation of many heirs.
However, on her wedding night, Catherine learns that her new husband is in love with Diane de Poitiers, a beautiful lady-in-waiting twice his age.
With her future suddenly uncertain and with little hope of conceiving, Catherine must quickly learn who she can trust – both within her personal entourage of courtiers and the members of the royal court – while outmaneuvering anyone who underestimates her determination to survive at any cost.
