Michael Sheen’s Prince Andrew Series A Very Royal Scandal Gets Update; Details Inside

As a dedicated follower of British history and royal drama, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming premiere of A Very Royal Scandal on Prime Video. Having lived through the real-life events that this series is based on, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia mixed with anticipation. The ensemble cast, led by the talented Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson, promises to deliver an engaging and captivating performance.


A thrilling addition to the anthology collection is about to debut on Amazon Prime Video: A Very Royal Scandal. This limited series will be available for streaming in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand on September 19th. The series delves into a pivotal instance in British journalism and boasts renowned actors Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson. Built upon “the interview of the decade” that caused a global stir, this drama promises to be an explosive watch.

The series is based on the real 2019 interview between journalist Emily Maitlis and Prince Andrew, in which he was grilled over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre. According to the official synopsis, it is “One night. One hour. One interview that sent shockwaves around the globe.” The storyline explores the weeks of tension leading up to the interview, the interview itself, and the long-term repercussions for everyone involved, whose lives were changed forever by the events.

In this production, Ruth Wilson takes on the role of Emily Maitlis, while Michael Sheen is chosen to play Prince Andrew. The talented cast further includes Alex Jennings as Sir Edward Young, Claire Rushbrook as Sarah Ferguson, Eanna Hardwicke as Stewart Maclean, and Joanna Scanlan as Amanda Thirsk. Each actor portraying real-life characters boasts an impressive resume in the acting world.

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of television production, I find it fascinating to see the collaborative effort that goes into bringing a series to life. From my perspective, this particular series was skillfully adapted by director Julian Jarrold and writer Jeremy Brock. The involvement of Blueprint Television, Amazon MGM Studios, and Sony Pictures Television is a testament to the global reach and production prowess of these industry powerhouses.

“The newest installment in our series is ‘A Very Royal Scandal’. It’s following in the footsteps of ‘A Very English Scandal’ from 2018 starring Hugh Grant, and ‘A Very British Scandal’ from 2021 which delved into the extraordinary divorce case of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, played by Paul Bettany and Claire Foy.”
