THIS ISN'T LOVE! IT'S WAR
![]() |
The show starts November 6th on Starz |


DANGEROUS LIAISONS IS
actually not a direct adaptation but a prelude of Laclos’ classic 18th-century novel focusing on the origin story of how his iconic characters, the Marquise
de Merteuil (the godawful Alice Englert) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Nicholas Denton), met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the
revolution. This modern take on a classic story takes audiences through wonder and terror, beauty and degradation, seduction and deception in pre-
revolutionary Paris. Driven to right the wrongs of their past, the young couple’s survival depends on their skills of seduction and manipulation of not
only the French nobility but of each other. The current Marquise de Merteuil (Lesley Manville) navigates her own path in a world of men, using the
power of secrets to take back control, and Valmont who will stop at nothing to regain his title that was recently taken from him. Their on- again off-again love story is the heart of the series





WHO ELSE IS IN DANGER?

the forced diversity element as Victoire, Camille’s best friend and partner in crime; Carice van Houten as Jacqueline de Montrachet, a pious
