Following the success of the first series, which was nominated for six Primetime Emmys®, winning two, the renaissance crime drama returns to Sky for its second series.
Based on Italy’s notorious Borgias dynasty, Jeremy Irons returns as Pope Alexander VI, and the second season continues with the dark sophomore of Pope Alexander VI struggling to hold on to his status as head of the Catholic church after buying, snatching, killing and deceiving his way to the top of Western Christendom.
With help from his murderous son Cesare (Francois Arnaud) and tainted daughter Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger), the power-hungry Pope must defend against usurpers and rivals from without and within as 15th-century Italy descends into war.
The Borgias premieres on Sky Atlantic HD on Saturday 21st July at 9pm.
