Netflix has debuted the first trailer for its new historical drama, Medici: The Magnificent, the second installment in an ongoing anthology series centered around one of Italy’s most infamous political families.
The first season in the Medici saga was Medici: Masters of Florence, starring Dustin Hoffman as Giovanni di Bicci de’ Medici and Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden as Cosimo de’ Medici. The new season is set 20 years after the events in Masters of Florence, following Cosimo de’ Medici’s grandson, Lorenzo (Daniel Sharman), after an attempt on his father’s life forces Lorenzo to assume leadership of the family-run bank. Once in power, Lorenzo resolves to do things differently, which swiftly brings him into conflict with the head of Florence’s other powerful banking family, Jacopo Pazzi (Sean Bean) who will stop at nothing to defeat him.
