THIS EIGHT PART EPIC DRAMA

powerful and influential Empress, driven by a deep desire to avenge her father and secure power for her sons. Livia and her peers navigate their way through
a brutal society by means of strategy, conspiracy, seduction and murder. She will soon discover that seizing power is not enough: you must be able to keep
it when everyone else wants it. This is a visceral and authentic family saga, grounded in historical accuracy and bringing to life the incredible true stories
of the women who would create one of the most enduring and fascinating dynasties of all time. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
