On linear, it will debut on STARZ @ 8:00 PM ET\/PT in the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>A historical drama with an edge, &#8220;<em>The Serpent Queen<\/em>&#8221; puts a contemporary spin on conventional storytelling to tell the tale of Catherine de Medici (Morton) who against all odds, became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rulers in French history. The series begins when 14-year-old, orphaned Catherine marries into the 16th-century French court. With her future uncertain, she must quickly learn who she can trust &#8211; both within her personal entourage of courtiers and the members of the royal court &#8211; while outmaneuvering anyone who underestimates her determination to survive at any cost.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3923130956\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;<em>The Serpent Queen<\/em>&#8216;&#8221; is distinctly modern, darkly comedic, and completely unexpected,&#8221; said Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming, STARZ. &#8220;Catherine De Medici&#8217;s story is the perfect complement to our female-forward slate, and Samantha Morton&#8217;s brilliant portrayal of this ruthless, charming, and savvy queen anchors the whole production.
