Sklenar(“Mapplethorpe”), Marley Shelton, BrianGeraghty(“Big Sky”) and Jerome Flynn(“GameofThrones”). Mirren reports that rather than being detailedaboutherroleattheoutset, creator-producer Sheridangaveher “a senseof,‘Doyouwanttocomeonthis ride?’ We don’t know wheretheride’s goingtotakeus,andIfoundthatreally interestingandexciting.”

Mirrenfirstworkedwith Ford in the 1986movie “The MosquitoCoast.” Sherecallsthatas “a greattime,then we wentoffanddidotherthingsand livedawholelife,really.There’sbeen aconnectionthathasneverbeenlost, though...sowhen we cametogether again,therewasanincrediblesenseof familiarityandaffectionandhistor y. That’s invaluableif you’re playing husbandandwife.”

Though Mirrenwontwoofher Emmysfor“Prime Suspect”mysteries, shedoesn’t considerthoseasseriesinthe sameway“1923”is.

“I’ve neverdonesomethinglike thisbefore,”shemaintains. “With ‘Prime Suspect,’ we woulddoone four-hourstoryabouteverytwoyears, soitwasmorelikeaminiseries.
