Hulu has released a poster and trailer for third season of the satirical historical comedy drama The Great which will see Catherine (Elle Fanning) and Peter (Nicholas Hoult) continue to attempt to make their marriage work despite the insurmountable problems, while Catherine attempts to gain input from the peasants, nobles and merchants on developing a new Russia and Peter tries to find his place as First Husband.
Season 3 of The Great sees Catherine (Elle Fanning) and Peter (Nicholas Hoult) attempt to make their marriage work after some seemingly insurmountable problems. Peter witnessed his own attempted murder at Catherine’s hands and she also imprisoned all of his friends. On top of this, Peter is at a loose end playing First Husband to Catherine’s reign, so he busies himself with fathering, hunting and salty culinary ventures. But they’re not enough to keep him contented as visions of his late father (played by Jason Isaacs), get in his head about his failures as Peter the Great’s son. Catherine the Great starts making a name for herself beyond her borders and inspired by a visit from the US ambassador, sets up a conference where peasants, nobles and merchants can all give their input on developing a new Russia. She learns that even the best political leaders sometimes need to make compromises in order to progress.
The Great season 3 premieres on Hulu on May 12th.
