HBO’s The Palace – What We Know So Far

“The Palace” marks the return of two A-list Hollywood actors to HBO, Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant. The limited series marks the fourth time Winslet will work with the network. The English actress had outstanding performances in HBO’s “Mildred Pierce” and “Mare of Easttown,” landing her an Emmy award for both roles. She is also set to star in another limited series, “Trust,” which is also in the early stages of development.

Hugh Grant is also no newcomer to working with HBO. The English actor played Jonathan Fraser in HBO’s “The Undoing,” earning himself an Emmy nomination. However, that’s not the only reunion waiting for Grant on the set of “The Palace,” as he and director Stephen Frears have previously worked together as well. The two joined forces on “Florence Foster Jenkins” and “A Very English Scandal,” which earned each of them an Emmy nomination.

Other actors joining Winslet and Grant in “The Palace” include Matthias Schoenaerts and Andrea Riseborough. Schoenaerts is a Belgian actor who’s best known for his roles in “Rust and Bone,” “The Danish Girl,” and “Red Sparrow.” English actor Riseborough has previously had parts in “Oblivion,” “Birdman,” and “Nocturnal Animals.”
