Victoria The image of Queen Victoria, late in life, is one of a dour, older woman, swathed in black. But when she first became queen, she was quite a different person. This exciting new Masterpiece drama follows Victoria (Jenna Coleman) from the time she becomes queen in 1837 at the age of 18 through her relationship with Lord Melbourne (Rufus Sewell), her first prime minister and intimate friend, and her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert (Tom Hughes). Famous for her candor and spirit, Victoria was the first woman who seemed to have it all: a passionate marriage, nine children and the job of being queen of the world’s most important nation. Her tumultuous reign lasted for 63 years.

The acclaimed orginal PBS drama returns for a second season! Inspired by real people and events, Mercy Street goes beyond the front lines of the Civil War and into the chaotic world of the Mansion House Hospital in Union-occupied Alexandria, Virginia. Americans on the Civil War home front face the challenges of one of the most turbulent times in our nation’s history, and allegiances blur and loyalties shift. In the mix are complicated dynamics within the hospital and its staff, the precarious position of the Green family, and the changing world of the burgeoning black population.
