At 9.05pm this Sunday, ITV’s Victoria will return to British screens for its much-anticipated second series. Over the next eight weeks, this lavish drama will not only retain its focus on the themes of marriage, monarchy & political machination, but also expand its gaze to include subjects as diverse as motherhood, empire, industrial revolution & free trade.
Having drawn a domestic audience of 7.7 million during its debut season, which was also sold to some 350 territories worldwide, expectations are understandably high for Victoria’s second run.
Big congratulations are due to Ben Drury, who edited episodes 1, 2, 5 & 6!
