Watch the Trailer for 'Harlots' Season 2
Hulu’s period drama Harlots, which follows the story of two warring brothels in Georgian London, returns for its second season on July 11. And the streaming service has (finally!) released a trailer for Season 2 – one that implies plenty of drama is in store.
The series stars Emily Watson, Lesley Manville, Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay and more. It features an all-female creative team behind-the-scenes and is generally a thoughtful, feminist take on what life was like for women who possessed little power in a world dominated by men. Rather than treat the series’ subject matter in an exploitative fashion, Harlots instead makes the women’s sex work the least interesting part of their story.
The first season focused on the intense rivalry between two competing madams, Margaret Wells (Watson) and Lydia Quigley (Manville). Season 2 of Harlots appears as though it will take that particularly relationship to the next level, pitting the two women against one another in what seems like even more elevated stakes.
