STREAMING THIS JANUARY
“VICTORIA,
SEASON 3,”
AND NEW INTERNATIONAL DRAMA
“NO LIMIT, SEASON 2”
Arlington, VA January 3, 2019 -- This January, PBS Distribution will begin streaming two
new series on the
PBS MASTERPIECE Prime Video Channel – the all-new season of
the hit MASTERPIECE drama, “VICTORIA”
and WALTER PRESENTS international drama “NO
LIMIT, SEASON 2”
VICTORIA, Season 3
Jenna Coleman returns as her fearless
Majesty Queen Victoria in the long anticipated third season of VICTORIA. Hailed as “tremendously
engaging…immediately gratifying” by The
New York Times, and “captivating” by The
Boston Globe, VICTORIA was a
runaway hit during its first two seasons.
Continuing the story of Victoria’s rule over the largest empire the
world has ever known, VICTORIA: SEASON 3
introduces fascinating new historical characters, including Laurence Fox
(Inspector Lewis) as the vainglorious Lord Palmerston, who crosses swords with
the queen over British foreign policy. Also vexing the queen this season is
Kate Fleetwood (Harlots) as Victoria’s devoted but troubled half-sister,
Princess Feodora, who seeks refuge at Buckingham Palace due to political unrest
back home in Germany.
A new episode of VICTORIA will be available each Monday on the PBS MASTERPIECE Prime
Video channel, available to Prime members for $5.99/month after a 7-day free
trial, and in PBS Passport, a member benefit for PBS station donors that offers
extended access to a rich library of public television programming (contact
your local PBS station for details).
