Three years after the end of Mad Men comes the return of Matthew Weiner, with a series that brings back some of his old favourites but has an entirely different setup.

The Romanoffs, which received a straight-to-series order from Amazon, will be an eight-part anthology series that focuses on a disparate group of people around the world, linked by the fact they believe to be descendants of the Russian royal family, the Romanovs, who were the last dynasty to rule Russia and whose demise has inspired countless conspiracy theories.

Once again Weiner’s eye for detail and style appears to be evident, while the impressive cast includes Aaron Eckhart, Christina Hendricks, Isabelle Huppert, Diane Lane, Jack Huston, John Slattery and many, many more. Each episode will have a different cast, story, and location, and while the finer points are being kept under wraps, it’s already intriguing.

Air Date: October 12
