The Princess: Trailer, synopsis and ensemble cast
Hulu's action-filled fantasy film, The Princess, is all set to release on Friday, July 1 at 3.00 AM ET. The official trailer was released earlier this month and featured a warrior princess trying to break free from her sociopathic fiance while protecting her family.
The official synopsis for the film reads:
"When a beautiful, strong-willed princess refuses to wed the cruel sociopath to whom she is betrothed, she is kidnapped and locked in a remote tower of her father's castle. With her scorned, vindictive suitor intent on taking her father's throne, the princess must protect her family and save her kingdom."
The film tells the story of a young princess who is locked away in a tower by her father after she refuses to marry a deplorable prince. Due to a failed marriage, the prince tried to take over her father's throne, but what he didn't realise was that he messed with the wrong princess.
