Victoriana meets steampunk and mythology in an upcoming series. With production design that evokes The Golden Compass, Harry Potter, and the gloom of Charles Dickens, Amazon Studios’ new Carnival Row has all the elements of a good fantasy. With two big stars, Cara Delevingne (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets) and Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings), it looks to be the next series to keep an eye on.
At San Diego Comic-Con this week, Amazon Studios’ released two introductions to the series, presented by the two lead actors. The best feature may be the beautiful accompanying music by Nathan Barr, composer of many a horror show. And this has plenty of its own blood and gore. A detective show, a mystery and a fantasy world with its own look despite familiar influences, Carnival Row will be a certain pick to binge-watch next month.
Check out these new previews from SDCC 2019 of Carnival Row:
