Mirren recently teased about the possible dangers surrounding the Dutton family and the impact of the era in the tumultuous 1920s. Speaking to TV Line, she said:

"Cara is well-balanced, is fundamentally peaceful, and what brings her to this point of extremity? To live and work in that sort of environment, dealing with the climate, dealing with the violence of nature itself is one thing they will have to deal with...Then of course this extraordinary moment in history, the 1920s, it was so revolutionary, there were so many things changing...Society was changing, the coming of votes for women, the coming of the Second World War, the coming of the whole different way wars were fought."

The show will premiere on Paramount+ on December 18, 2022, at 3 PM EST/ midnight PT. Stay tuned for more updates.
