‘The Romanoffs’: Watch the First Footage of Matthew Weiner’s Amazon Anthology

More than three years after wrapping AMC’s Mad Men, Matthew Weiner’s follow-up drama, Amazon’s The Romanoffs, is coming into focus.

The streamer has released the first trailer with actual footage from the Mad Men creator’s Amazon anthology The Romanoffs.

The $50 million series — which shot on three continents — is written, directed and exec produced by the nine-time Emmy winner and features eight separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family. Each story takes place in a new location with a new cast. The first installment stars Marthe Keller, Aaron Eckhart, Ines Melab and Louise Bourgoin. The second features Corey Stoll, Kerry Bishe, Janet Montgomery and Noah Wyle.
