ANNA BREWSTER in VERSAILLES (2017)
Anna Brewster in Silent Witness
This is an old project for Canal Plus France. Announced in 2010 with an order for twelve episodes (Season 1), the production of Versailles was postponed indefinitely due to the lack of funds.
The production resumed in 2013. The series had its first season reduced to ten episodes and some changes to the original script to accommodate for the new budget. Filming began in July 2014 and will continue until the end of Feb 2015.

Created by the couple Andre and Maria Jacquemetton, both of Mad Men, the series had their scripts rewritten by Simon Mirren (Criminal Minds), nephew of actress Helen Mirren, and David Wolstencroft (Spooks).
The story is set during the period of construction of the Palace of Versailles, and follows several characters that are part of the court of Louis XIV.
Series opens in 1667. Louis is 28 years old and the sole commander of his kingdom following his mother’s death. Burdened by insecurity brought on memories of his childhood trauma — a bitter coup attempt known as “the Fronde” — he creates a trap at Versailles to ensnare and disempower the nobles who threaten him.
The first season sees Louis evolve from a young King into an absolute monarch, a 17th century rock star with the mind of Machiavelli.
The show also delves into Louis XIV’s ambivalent relationship with his younger brother, an openly gay warrior who was known as Monsieur, and the king’s affair with his sister-in-law, Henrietta (Dominic Blanc) of England, explained Claude Chelli, head of Capa Drama.
Also in the cast are Amira Casar, Tygh Runyan (Stargate Universe), Stuart Bowman, Noémie Schmidt, Evan Williams, Anna Brewster (The Tudors, Silent Witness), Sarah Winter, Anatole Taubman (The Pillars of Earth), Lizzie Brocheré (American Horror Story, Braquo), Elisa Lasowski (Game of Thrones), Maddison Jaizani (Tyrant), Peter Hudson (Pigalle, La Nuit) and Gilly Gilchrist (Lip Service).
