Starz has unveiled an extra spicy first look teaser for a new British historical drama miniseries called Mary & George, set to arrive sometime in early 2024 (no date yet). Follow the story of the Countess of Buckingham who molded her son to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover, through intrigue, becoming richer, more titled and influential than England has ever seen.
