Starring alongside the “Game of Thrones” breakout in the four-part limited series will be François Civil and Mirren Mack. Hong Khaou is on board to direct with show creator Daniel West penning the script. Filming will begin in October.
Set in 1782 London during the war between France and Britain, “A Tale of Two Cities” follows Lucie Manette (Mack), who “has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris — her father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may be alive,” the series’ synopsis reads. “The messenger — idealistic French emigré, Charles Darnay (Civil) — is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Harington), to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father.
