Get Your First Look at Kenneth Branagh as Boris Johnson in 'This Sceptered Isle'

Kenneth Branagh is set to portray U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson in This Sceptered Isle, a drama that charts the events surrounding Johnson and his government in the face of the first wave of the global coronavirus pandemic.

Of course, your mileage may vary about whether we truly need a drama about the British government's response to the coronavirus pandemic while the world's still deep in the grips of that said pandemic, or if such a series can have anything meaningful to say at this point when people are still waiting to receive vaccines that might help life return to something like normal.

But one thing we can all agree on is that Branagh's transformation is...well, it's something else.
