Tony McNamara’s dramedy The Great coming to Stan for a second season

Stan today announced that Catherine The Great will continue her reign on Stan for a second season. The comedy drama, led by Elle Fanning (Super 8) and Nicholas Hoult (Stan’s True History of the Kelly Gang), will return for another 10-episode run after its first season debuted on 16 May, only on Stan.

The comedy series chronicles the genre-bending, anti-historical ride through 18th Century Russia and follows the wildly comedic rise of ‘Catherine the Nothing’ to ‘Catherine the Great’ – as depicted by Hollywood heavyweight Fanning.

A sensational supporting cast includes Phoebe Fox, Adam Godley, Gwilym Lee, Charity Wakefield, Douglas Hodge, Sacha Dhawan, Sebastian de Souza, Bayo Gbadamosi and Australia’s own Belinda Bromilow (Doctor Doctor, Packed to the Rafters).

The first season of The Great was created, written and executive produced by Tony McNamara and executive produced by Marian Macgowan, Thruline’s Josh Kesselman and Ron West, Echo Lake’s Brittany Kahan Ward, Doug Mankoff and Andrew Spaulding, Elle Fanning, Mark Winemaker and Matt Shakman.
