From Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, The Romanoffs features eight self-contained episodes that follow different sets of people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family (despite every Romanoff having apparently been executed when the Bolsheviks took power in 1918).

The trailer reveals the characters, played by a star-studded cast, as they begin to recognise that it might be their believed bloodline that’s at the root of all of their problems.
