In Domina Season 2 Trailer ‘You Never Turn On Your Family’

It might be a ‘man’s world’ out there, whatever you do, pay more attention to the women. SKY have released Season 2 Trailer for the epic historical drama series Domina … Always never turn on your family!

Domina follows the extraordinary rise of Gaius Octavius, who became the first Emperor of Rome as Caesar Augustus, and his third wife, Livia Drusilla (played once again by Kasia Smutniak).

Season 2 picks up in 19 BC, when Gaius and Livia return to Rome after three years away in the Eastern Provinces. They are shocked to find their city in revolt, and Livia’s children in open rebellion. Throughout the season, Livia is made to fight harder than ever to fulfil the sacred vow she swore to her father – to restore the Republic, and Democracy, to Rome. Livia will need all of her intelligence, ambition and guile to navigate these increasingly rough political seas. She will face a terrible final choice between power and vengeance.

Domina chronicles the struggle for control of the Roman Empire, and of Rome’s Imperial Family, from a rare female perspective. In its first season, Livia Drusilla (Kasia Smutniak), the golden girl of the prominent Claudii family, returned to Rome after 10 years in exile, determined to regain everything that was stolen from her. When she married Gaius – Caesar Augustus (Matthew McNulty) – she was seated at the top of a fractious empire and a dysfunctional dynasty. Throughout, Livia was fighting to preserve her marriage and find a way to seat one of her sons on the imperial throne, as new and old rivals jockeyed for position in a world where it’s impossible to know who to trust.

The  new series has expanded its cast with Benjamin Isaac ing in the role of Tiberius, Joelle as Vipsania, and David Avery as young aristocrat Domitius.

Returning series regulars include Matthew McNulty (Gaius), Liah O’Prey (Julia), Ben Batt (Agrippa), Ewan Horrocks (Drusus), Claire Forlani (Octavia), Darrell D’Silva (Piso), Christine Bottomley (Scribonia), and Alaïs Lawson (Marcella).

Domina Season 2 will launch on Sky Atlantic and NOW from 13th September.
