- 'Mary & George' come for the crown
- When: Mary & George premieres April 5 on Starz and the Starz app.

- “There is a neediness and voraciousness in her that is kind of shocking,” Moore told the New York Times about her character. “She rips through life and people.”
- The show has been airing for a month already in the U.K., where it’s getting rave reviews.
- Galitzine is aware of the hype — and responded to the show’s U.K. buzz on X, formerly Twitter, with a cheeky one-word post.
