It can't have been an easy task to have crafted a follow-up to Mad Men, a series which was critically-acclaimed out the wazoo, but creator Matthew Weiner is certainly giving it his best shot with The Romanoff's, a contemporary anthology series set around the globe featuring eight separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family. The series also boasts quite the star-studded cast, which includes Aaron Eckhart, Diane Lane, Isabelle Huppert, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Amanda Peet, Jack Huston, Kathryn Hahn, Noah Wyle, Paul Reiser, and many more. The latest teaser trailer for the upcoming Amazon series shows off a few of those stars as they attempt to set a record for how many times someone can say "Romanoff" in sixty seconds.
"The Romanoffs is an ambitious event series that will be the first-ever anthology released weekly on Prime Video," said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. "Filmed around the globe and featuring an incredible, star studded cast, each episode will be a surprise gift to the audience. We are grateful to Matthew Weiner for bringing this groundbreaking series to life for our Prime audience."
The first two episodes of The Romanoffs will debut on Amazon on October 12, 2018, with new episodes released weekly.
