As a long-time royal watcher and drama enthusiast who has followed the twists and turns of the British monarchy for years, I am absolutely thrilled about Prime Video’s upcoming miniseries, “A Very Royal Scandal.” The casting is spot on, with Michael Sheen as Prince Andrew and Ruth Wilson as Emily Maitlis. I can hardly wait to see their portrayals of the real-life characters that sent shockwaves around the globe with their explosive interview.
Amazon Studios has unveiled preliminary photos for the series “A Very Royal Scandal,” which features Michael Sheen from “Good Omens” portraying Prince Andrew, Duke of York. This anticipated miniseries, due to debut on Prime Video on September 19, 2024, is inspired by the contentious television interview broadcasted on Newsnight.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that apart from Sheen portraying the disgraced prince, Ruth Wilson (from The Affair) takes on the role of journalist and BBC anchor Emily Maitlis in this series. This captivating production is helmed by Julian Jarrold, who has previously worked on The Crown, and is adapted from a screenplay penned by Jeremy Brock, the talented mind behind The Last King of Scotland.

As a gaming enthusiast, diving into the world of dramatized history, I’m excited to explore “A New Royal Chaos” – a sequel to the captivating 2018 series “A Very English Scandal,” led by Hugh Grant, and the more recent 2021 production “A Very British Scandal,” starring Paul Bettany and Claire Foy. In this new installment, I’ll delve deeper into the intriguing saga surrounding Prince Andrew’s notorious interview.
