Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes joined by Dame Diana Rigg as shooting starts on second series of Victoria
London, 27 February 2017: As filming begins this month on the highly-anticipated second series of ITV and Mammoth Screen’s hit drama Victoria, BAFTA winning iconic actress Dame Diana Rigg (Game Of Thrones) has been confirmed as a new regular cast member.
The second series - once again written by creator and executive producer Daisy Goodwin – sees Queen Victoria face the new challenge of motherhood.
Following critical acclaim for her portrayal of the monarch both in the UK and America, Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) reprises her role alongside Tom Hughes (The Game) as Prince Albert.
Picking up six weeks after the first series ended, the second instalment establishes Victoria as a working mother, learning to balance her responsibilities as both parent and Queen. However, with Prince Albert still struggling to find a role for himself there is an inevitable power struggle between husband and wife.
Dame Diana Rigg will play the Duchess of Bucchleuch, the young Queen’s new Mistress of the Robes, who is renowned for speaking her mind. She joins returning cast members including Nigel Lindsay (Unforgotten) as Sir Robert Peel, Alex Jennings (The Lady In The Van) as King Leopold, Peter Bowles (To The Manor Born) as Duke of Wellington, David Oakes (The White Queen) as Ernest, Daniela Holtz (Circle Of Life) as Baroness Lehzen and Catherine Flemming (Tatort) as the Duchess of Kent. Below stairs Nell Hudson (Outlander) returns as Skerrett, Ferdinand Kingsley (Borgia) as chef Francatelli and Adrian Schiller (The Secret Agent) as Penge.
As well as much drama in Buckingham Palace, the series will include trips to France and Germany, touch on tragedy in Ireland and war in Afghanistan, and see Victoria and Albert discovering sanctuary in the Isle of Wight.
The eight-part series and 2 hour Christmas special has been commissioned by ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill and Senior Drama Commissioner Victoria Fea, and will be executive produced by Damien Timmer (Endeavour), Kate McKerrell (Lost In Austen) and Daisy Goodwin for Mammoth Screen. It will again be produced by Paul Frift.
Creator, Daisy Goodwin said: “In series one Victoria married the handsome prince, but in this series she and Albert get down to the serious business of living happily, sometimes stormily, ever after. Victoria is the only Queen Regnant to marry and give birth while on the throne and the challenges of being head of state as well as a wife and mother are legion. In many ways Victoria’s dilemma is a modern one - how do you have a successful marriage and a happy family when you are holding down an important job. Can you really have it all?”
Executive Producer and Managing Director of Mammoth Screen, Damien Timmer added: “Series one of Victoria was a big success both at home and abroad, and it is a privilege to continue to tell the story of this fascinating woman at a particularly interesting point in her reign. Audiences will be intrigued by the meticulously researched stories Daisy has planned, brimming with scandal, romance and tragedy. At the centre of it is a beautifully nuanced study of a young marriage, and it’s a joy to watch Jenna and Tom find new layers to this iconic couple.”
The first series of the drama was ITV’s highest rating drama of 2016, receiving critical acclaim and a consolidated average of 7.7m viewers with a 29% share. It is distributed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment and has been sold in 350 territories worldwide. It has also proved hugely popular in the US, with the first series reaching an average audience of 6.3m viewers and the first episode drawing in a 28% share - more viewers than the first series of Downton Abbey.
历史上真正的维多利亚女王应该不是个那么讨人喜欢的小可爱 唯一同步可能只有和亲王的感情始终如一 总之该剧满足了我对18世纪英国宫廷的所有幻想hhhh
电视剧里面提到了“大宪章”,“关税改革”,“爱尔兰大饥荒”,甚至还有令人耻辱的《南京条约》,罗伯特皮尔的担当与果断,很有历史的厚重感。在那个时代,世界因为维多利亚而靓丽;在这个时代,我们在赶超英国。
第一季谈恋爱,第二季搞事业间隙谈恋爱,可能对英国文化理解不够深入,对于女王发表一次演讲就能鼓舞全国的这种号召力代入困难。
满怀希望来到第二季,想看看维多利亚女王如何带领“日不落”帝国征服世界,结果……妥妥的言情剧!如果说第一季只是讲讲女王后宫的罗曼史,这一季就是各种恋爱大杂烩:女王和亲王一对、首席裁作和厨师一对、科堡王子和公爵夫人一对以及花样美男二人组一对。都不用提女王和女爵之间的半亲情关系了。看来,这一季应该更名为《恋爱中的维多利亚王朝》更合适。P.S.其实蛮喜欢科堡王子和公爵夫人这一对,充满了维多利亚时代特有的浪漫和隐忍。只是他们的感情线太虐了,希望下一季有情人终成眷属吧。
拖拖拉拉终于把第二季看完了,平心而论,其实维多利亚两季都略有点琐碎,而且更侧重于女王的家庭方面,对于整个时代着眼太少。个人感觉整个第二季最好的就是爱尔兰大饥荒那一集以及苏格兰那一集,爱尔兰大饥荒那集最后女声演唱的音乐Skibbereen真的很好听,令人动容。另外题外话,这个音乐让我莫名其妙想到诡秘之主里贝克兰德毒雾那几章,感觉也非常合适。 接下来是the crown的第二季!抓紧看完,不能再拖了?
英剧在服化道的细腻实在是太戳我了。 几对副线剧情也甜虐,一边痛恨人世莫测带来的生死离别爱而不得,一边又清楚地明白这才是人生常态。没人能够永生,没人能够永远相伴,所有的一切都会走向分离,我们从生到死都在学着理解生命的孤独。 但扣一星是因为涉及历史的部分太少,大多数情节都拘泥于男主女主的感情,而且吵架和好的过程非常套路。所以中途有些乏味,加速掠过了一些情节。
英国历史上最恩爱的皇室夫妻,可惜阿尔伯特亲王英年早逝,就这样甜蜜二十年就很不错,重心放在了女王和亲王的爱情生活上,通过此来影射当时的政治文化等的各个方面。 ps.难怪男女主会因戏生情,剧中爱情戏好甜……
第二季相比第一季更多是对两人互相扶持亦夫妻亦知己的感情respect 女王第二季和亲王做了很多实事 比较多描绘百姓生活了 印象最深就是亲王和女王灰脸先后坐上蒸汽机车那段 突然觉得工业革命有了一丝可爱的感觉 还有身后的风景 终于又看见了女王重回当年小女孩那般自由洒脱的性子 好喜欢的一部剧
放大了人物爱情线和女王亲王的矛盾后感觉没有那么有吸引力了/第二季明显节奏变快(一集一个故事加转场突然)/倒数第二集德雷蒙德中枪泪目(最后一集的大团圆反而有点悲伤)
英式古偶…编剧拉郎配的爱好程度简直令人发指 里面的几对cp 在历史上都不是一个年代的人 就被编剧硬凑到一起了 第二季有关爱尔兰大饥荒的内容更是完全偏离历史轨迹…
就是这么一部撒狗粮时间远大于讲历史事件的剧居然让我很喜欢。服装道具场景配乐都好美啊!第二季末尾太虐了,Alfred和Drummond那个跳水和那一吻啊,我的心瞬间穿越到了断背山。我的眼泪和Alfred小哥一起流。
我感觉第二季比第一季好。Lord Alfred Paget和Edward Drummond那条线的喜剧成分时不时来个调和挺可爱的,虽然历史人物的棺材盖可能要压不住了。这个VA总算有点VA的感觉了,第一季真的Lord M是Victoria身边最重的人物。
