2 New Trailers for Amazon's Incredible-Looking Fantasy Series CARNIVAL ROW Offer Main Character Details
Two new trailers for Amazon’s fantastic-looking fantasy series, Carnival Row, were shared at Comic-Con yesterday that they have since been released on line. The trailers focus on the two main characters of the series… Vignette, who is played by Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad), and Philo, who is played by Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings).
Each the the trailers offers some great new footage and a lot more fascinating details on the story and the world in which it’s set. I love what I’m seeing here in these trailers. This is going to be a hell of a good show, and I’m looking forward to watching it.
Carnival Row is an eight-part series set in a Victorian fantasy world filled with “mythological immigrant creatures whose exotic homelands were invaded by the empires of man.” Bloom takes on the role of a human detective, Rycroft Philostrate, and Delevingne stars as a refugee faerie named Vignette Stonemoss. “They rekindle a dangerous affair despite an increasingly intolerant society and Vignette harbors a secret that endangers Philo’s world during his most important case yet: a string of gruesome murders threatening the uneasy peace of the Row.”
The series also stars “David Gyasi (Interstellar) as Agreus, a mysteriously wealthy faun who moves into an affluent human neighborhood in defiance of the social order; Karla Crome (Under the Dome) as Tourmaline, a quick-witted faerie poet driven from her war-torn homeland; Indira Varma (Game of Thrones) as Piety Breakspear, the regal and cunning matriarch of the powerful family that rules the city of The Burgue; and Tamzin Merchant (Salem) as Imogen Spurnrose, a young woman who sees in Agreus an opportunity to turn her aristocratic family’s fading fortunes around.”
Carnival Row is executive produced by Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, Eli Stone), René Echevarria (Star Trek, Teen Wolf, Castle, Medium), and Jon Amiel (Outsiders).
Carnival Row will hit Amazon Prime on August 30th, 2019.
