Ewan McGregor in first look at A Gentleman in Moscow adaptation
The new series will premiere next month.
Paramount+ has released a first look at its new limited series, A Gentleman in Moscow.
The series follows Count Alexander Rostov, played by Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past places him on the wrong side of history.
Having been spared execution, Rostov is banished to an attic room in the Hotel Metropol, threatened with death if he dares to step foot outside again.
Based on Amor Towles's best-selling novel of the same name, A Gentleman in Moscow will debut on Friday 29th March in the UK, US, Canada and Australia on the streamer.
The first look images show an array of scenes from the series and a look at some of the other characters, including Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ahsoka) as glamorous, self-made film actress Anna Urbanova, Alexa Goodall (Lockwood and Co) as the Count's unlikely young friend Nina, Fehinti Balogun (Dune) as Mishka, the Count's best friend from university, and Johnny Harris (Without Sin) as conflicted secret police officer Osip.
