NEW WORLDS

A lavish new drama mini-series set in England in America in the 1680’s.
From the same Producers as the award winning The Devils Mistress, Elizabeth 1 and The White Queen.

Starring Once Upon a Time/The Fall’s Jamie Dornan, The White Queen’s Freya Mavor, Game of Thrones’ Joe Dempsie, Nurse Jackie’s Eve Best, The Tudors/Gosford Park’s Jeremy Northam and Beautiful Creatures’ Alice Englert.

New Worlds is a gripping story of love, loss and the human price paid for the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today.

We follow the fortunes of four young people – Beth, Hope, Abe and Ned – from across both sides of the Atlantic, caught up in these turbulent times. We see them struggle as they are torn between love and ideals in the harsh reality of the changing world.

In England, torture, summary executions….the restored monarchy of Charles II has betrayed its promises and reverted to tyranny. Behind the decadence of the Court, a terror machine is repressing the freedoms won for the people with so much blood during the Civil War of England when Charles I was executed.

In America, the tentacles of the state terror reach the English colonists of New England who are struggling to throw off the shackles of the English Crown. At the same time the colonists are ruthlessly staking their claim to the territories occupied by the Native American Indians, and shedding much of the American Indian’s blood in the process – in a chilling echo of the tyrannical behaviour that they sought to escape from when they crossed the Atlantic.
