Amazon Prime’s Victorian fantasy series Carnival Row is coming to an end after the upcoming second season. The period drama stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, and follows “mythological immigrant creatures whose exotic homelands were invaded by the empires of man.” Bloom plays a human detective, Rycroft Philostrate, and Delevingne stars as a refugee faerie named Vignette Stonemoss. “They rekindle a dangerous affair despite an increasingly intolerant society and Vignette harbors a secret that endangers Philo’s world during his most important case yet: a string of gruesome murders threatening the uneasy peace of the Row.”
The series also stars “David Gyasi (Interstellar) as Agreus, a mysteriously wealthy faun who moves into an affluent human neighborhood in defiance of the social order; Karla Crome (Under the Dome) as Tourmaline, a quick-witted faerie poet driven from her war-torn homeland; Indira Varma (Game of Thrones) as Piety Breakspear, the regal and cunning matriarch of the powerful family that rules the city of The Burgue; and Tamzin Merchant (Salem) as Imogen Spurnrose, a young woman who sees in Agreus an opportunity to turn her aristocratic family’s fading fortunes around.”
Carnival Row is executive produced by Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, Eli Stone), René Echevarria (Star Trek, Teen Wolf, Castle, Medium), and Jon Amiel (Outsiders).
The second and final season will premiere on Amazon on February 17th. Are you bummed to see this show go?
