The Regime is an upcoming political satire television miniseries from HBO starring Kate Winslet, Martha Plimpton, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts and Hugh Grant. Will Tracy is writer, executive producer and showrunner on the series with Stephen Frears and Jessica Hobbs directing episodes and executive producing. Winslet, Frank Rich, and Tracey Seaward are also executive producers.

The Regime will premiere on 3 March 2024,[1][2] and all six episodes will debut exclusively in the UK on Sky Atlantic and Now TV in April.[3]

Synopsis

The series depicts a year within the palace of a crumbling authoritarian regime.[4] After not leaving the palace for quite some time, Chancellor Elena Vernham becomes increasingly paranoid and unstable and turns to a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak, as an unlikely confidant. As Zubak's influence over the chancellor grows, Elena's attempts to expand her power eventually result in the palace and the country fracturing around her.[5]
