When the flamboyant Henry Paget arrives in 1890s North Wales to claim his aristocratic inheritance, his theatrical flair and defiant eccentricities send shockwaves through the upper-class elite — much to the amusement of the local townspeople. Alongside his spirited cousin, Lily, and loyal butler, Gelert, Henry tries to carve out his own identity as the Fifth Marquess, navigating suffocating traditions, scheming relatives, and the long shadow cast by his estranged father.
Inspired by a true story, this riotous, uncompromising celebration of otherness is led fearlessly by rising star and BAFTA nominee Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin, The Beautiful Game), joined by a stellar supporting cast including three-time BAFTA nominee Rupert Everett (The Happy Prince, An Ideal Husband), Ruby Stokes (Jay Kelly, Bridgerton), BAFTA winner Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls, Amandaland), Louis Hynes (A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Great), Louise Brealey (Sherlock, Brian and Charles), Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines, The Gentlemen) and Paul Rhys (Wuthering Heights, Saltburn).
*The perfect follow-up after coming to watch Savage House – an accidental mini-season of seriously madcap period drama-comedies!
