Empress Catherine, as played byFanning, has retained two things during all the challenges of ruling Russia: her rosy cheeks and her relentless, extremely naive optimism. That second trait took quite a beating in Season 2 ofThe Great. After removing her irresponsible, insensitive playboy husband Peter from the throne, Catherine set out to win the he...
In the beginning, it was almost impossible to see Peter III, the Emperor of Russia, as anything but a spoiled, incompetent, overgrown child. He sleeps with anyone, including his best friend’s wife, burns down Catherine’s school for women, and kills people on a whim–all the while chatting pompously about empty trivialities. Yet, just as he grows on ...
From her first appearance in the series, Marial is the splash of cold water dousing Catherine’s over-romantic dreams. In Season 1, her cynical commentary was a perfect balance to Fanning’s sunny hopefulness and her loyalty is one thing that Catherine can count on. Marial is introduced as an impoverished maid to the queen, but in fact, her wealth an...

As Catherine seeks to include input f...

She loves her nephew but is intrig...

But though he’s hopeful about her schemes to improve the country, will her daring plans in Season 3 be too much for him? Sascha Dhawan currently plays the Master on Doctor ...
Peter's best friend Grigor is also married to his lover Georgina, which nearly pushed Grigor to murder in Season 1. Grigor’s friendship provides Peter with some ballast because he’s constantly trying to get his friend to be less, well, insane... So far, it hasn’t really taken, and Grigor has become more contemptuous of his friend. He also started a...
General Velementov is a drunken boor who nonetheless triggers the audience's sympathy as he desperately tries to fight Peter’s wars with as few casualties as possible. Due to his attraction to Catherine, the aging general supported her coup against Peter and will likely continue to do so in Season 3 even while he remains baffled by her goals. His c...
