When Will ‘The Great’ Season 2 Be on Hulu?

Huzzah! Hulu‘s most deliciously decadent historical drama The Great is back for more glass-smashing fun! The Great Season 1 introduced us to young Queen Catherine (Elle Fanning), an optimistic, educated beauty with big dreams for her adopted homeland, Russia. The one thing standing in the way of Catherine and glory? Her foppish, violent, idiot husband, Czar Peter (Nicholas Hoult). The Great Season 1 ended with a pregnant Catherine risking everything by attempting a coup for the throne. So what happens next? You’ll have to watch The Great Season 2 to find out…

The Great is a historically inaccurate look at the life of young Catherine the Great, the iconic ruler who expanded Russia’s power and prestige on the world stage in the late 18th century. Born in Poland, Catherine married into the Russian royal family and eventually wrestled control of the nation from her husband. The Great is a witty, irreverent retelling of this saga. One that puts absurdity and horror front and center in favor of boring old facts. (No, but seriously this show is a lot more fun if you resist the urge to fact check anything.) The Great is an addictive treat anchored by brilliant performances from Elle Fanning as Catherine, Nicholas Hoult as Peter, and an ensemble cast including Phoebe Fox, Sacha Dhawan, Gwylim Lee, and Charity Wakefield.

The Great Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, with Catherine’s coup in full swing and the fate of her lover Leo (Sebastian de Souza) in peril. Here’s everything you need to know about when The Great Season 2 premieres on Hulu…
