Starz’s hottest new show is coming this spring. Mary & George stars Oscar winner Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine as the titular treacherous mother and son who conspired, seduced and killed to take the English court and the bed of King James I.

The series is inspired by the incredible true story of Mary Villiers, who shaped her beautiful and charismatic son George to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England (Tony Curran) and become his all-powerful lover. Through scandalous intrigue, Mary and George rose from humble beginnings to become the wealthiest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the king’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s position on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the king, the stakes could not have been higher.

The seduction begins in new posters, which Starz released on January 17, and they feature steamy shots of Galitzine and Curran, who will play the scandalous lovers, and the intriguing Moore as Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham. Galitzine's George is described as a naive romantic who, along with his ruthless mother, was willing to stop at nothing to reach the top.

"The Mother" and "The Schemer" are Moore's labels. "The Son" and "The Seducer" are Galitzine's. "The King" and "The Prize" are Curran's. If that didn't grab your attention, the episodic photos in the gallery below will. The stunning costumes and production design of this juicy, audacious historical psychodrama offer a glimpse of the intrigue to come when it debuts this spring on Starz (an exact release date will be announced later).
