A Gentleman in Moscow

An adaptation of Amor Towles’ best-selling novel, A Gentleman In Moscow follows Count Alexander Rostov, played by Emmy and Critics Choice Award-winner Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars franchise, Fargo, Trainspotting), who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history.

Spared immediate execution, he is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in a grand Moscow hotel and threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family and love.

A Gentleman In Moscow is at #23 among the Best TV Shows of 2024 (so far) on Rotten Tomatoes, where it has a 92% critics’ rating.

The cast includes Critics Choice nominee Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ahsoka, Scott Pilgrim’s Ramona Flowers), and BAFTA nominees Johnny Harris (Without Sin), Leah Harvey (Foundation) and Lucian Msamati (Gangs of London, His Dark Materials).
