First pictures of Catherine the Great

The first-look photos tie in with Dame Helen being inducted into the Radio Times Hall of Fame this weekend, as well as an exclusive showcase on the BFI Southbank of some of the fantastically intricate costumes worn by Dame Helen on the Sky and HBO show.

Outpost is proud to be a part in bringing the decadence and political turmoil of 18th century Russia to TV screens.

Starring Dame Helen Mirren as Empress Catherine and Jason Clarke as Russian General Grigory Potemki, Catherine the Great is currently in production and is set to air in Autumn 2019.
