Michael Sheen as Prince Andrew in ‘A Very Royal Scandal’ First Photos

Amazon Prime Video has released first-look images of Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson in A Very Royal Scandal, a series following the BBC’s infamous interview with Prince Andrew about Jeffrey Epstein.

The newly-released photos show Sheen (Good Omens, Prodigal Son Masters of Sex) as the British royal family member and Wilson (Luther, The Affair, Jane Eyre) as top reporter Emily Maitlis, demonstrating the power of journalism through what was, most consider, a huge stain on the monarchy’s already-blotted reputation.

“One night. One hour. One interview that sent shockwaves around the globe,” a plot synopsis reads. The three-episode series is based on the real-life 2019 interview between Maitlis and Prince Andrew over the scandalous accusations he faced regarding his involvement with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, who claimed to have had sex with the royal while she was underage.

Premiering exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand on Sept. 19, A Very Royal Scandal follows the actions of Maitlis and Prince Andrew in the lead-up to the interview, during the sit-down and after, including the many questions left in its wake that would change their lives forever.

Along with Sheen and Wilson, the series stars Joanna Scanlan (After Love, Notes on a Scandal) as Amanda Thirsk, Alex Jennings (Your Christmas or Mine?) as Sir Edward Young,  Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) as Stewart Maclean and Claire Rushbrook (Secrets & Lies) as Sarah Ferguson. 

The series was directed by Julian Jarrold and written by Jeremy Brock. It was produced by Blueprint Television for Amazon MGM Studios and is being distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television.

Karen Thrussell, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Diarmuid McKeown, Jeremy Brock, Jarrold and Maitlis herself serve as executive producers. Josh Hyams serves as a producer on the series.
