What is ‘The Regime’ about?

The series will focus on a crumbling authoritarian regime in an European country. Winslet plays Chancellor Elena Vernham, who becomes paranoid and unstable in power. However, she must have to prove to an American US emissary that she still has “credibility” as leader of the nation.

Vernham’s only confidant is a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak, who keeps her friends, enemies and even husband at bay. As Zubak’s influence over the chancellor grows, Vernham’s attempts to expand her power eventually result in the palace and the country fracturing around her.
