Samantha Morton and Emma McDonald in The Serpent Queen Season 2
The Big Picture Nearly two years ago, The Serpent Queen premiered with far less fanfare than a show of its caliber deserved. Anchored by the always-brilliant Samantha Morton, the historical series offered a fictionalized take on the life and reign of Catherine de' Medici, the so-called "Serpent Queen of France," who exercised considerable influence in French politics throughout the mid-to-late 16th century.

Indeed, nearly every character in The Serpent Queen exists in service to Catherine. The Bourbons and de Guises are there to oppose her, although none do it better than the deliciously biting Antoinette, who thankfully gets more screen time this season.
Not All of 'The Serpent Queen's Characters Are Given Equal Weight in Season 2 Close The Serpent Queen understands that, at this point, historical characters are no different from literary figures, open to interpretation and perfect for conveying social and political issues, depending on each version's context. The show adopts a strong feminist approach, not by surrendering to common tropes of female liberation, but rather by embracing the pernicious nature of its main players.
