Entertainment One (eOne) will sell Sky History’s drama-doc Royal Mob internationally. The agreement doesn’t cover the UK, Germany and Italy, where Sky has pay-TV services.
The series, from The Last Czars maker Nutopia, tells the story of a single family who ruled across 19th century Europe and inflicted their psychological wounds on an entire continent. It’s told through the eyes of Queen Victoria’s granddaughters the Hesse sisters, whose love affairs across Europe’s royal courts caused rifts and came against the background of the coming First World War.
