Hollywood, CA – February 15, 2022 – The critically acclaimed and wildly entertaining comedic series “The Great: Season Two” arrives on DVD April 26th from Paramount Home Entertainment. Season Two is now available for purchase on Digital platforms.
Created and executive produced by Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee** Tony McNamara (“The Favourite”), “The Great” is a satirical comedy — and occasionally true story — about the rise of Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) from outsider to the longest-reigning female ruler in Russia’s history. With Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult reprising their Golden Globe®-nominated roles, Season Two finds Catherine finally taking the Russian throne for her own. But if she thought coup-ing her husband was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of liberating a country that doesn’t want to be. She’ll battle her court, her team, even her own mother (played by two-time Emmy Award®-winning*** actress Gillian Anderson) in a bid to bring the Enlightenment to Russia.
The 4-disc DVD set features all ten episodes from Season Two, plus exclusive deleted scenes and an uproarious blooper reel.
“The Great: Season Two” is available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and is currently Certified Fresh® on Rotten Tomatoes® at 100%.**** The MRC Television and Civic Center Media series, which has been renewed for a third season, has garnered notable awards recognition since its debut in 2020, including multiple Emmy®, SAG Award, Critics Choice Awards, and Golden Globe® nominations. “The Great” has also been nominated for four Writers Guild Awards, with Tony McNamara winning for Episodic Comedy in 2021.
