Ready to immerse yourself in a new series? Amazon Prime’s Victorian fantasy series Carnival Row stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne.
Carnival Row is set in a Victorian fantasy world filled with mythological immigrant creatures. Feared by humans, they are forbidden to live, love, or fly with freedom. But even in darkness, hope lives, as a human detective and a faerie rekindle a dangerous affair. The city’s uneasy peace collapses when a string of murders reveals a monster no one could imagine.
The series was initially picked up in 2015 by Amazon Prime with the series set to be co-written, executive produced, and directed by Guillermo del Toro. The script was co-written with Travis Beacham and Rene Echeverria with it initially based on a feature script that Beacham wrote in 2005. However, the trio worked on trying to make it into a film, but the rights reverted back to Beacham. Del Toro stepped away from the project in 2017, but still serves as an executive producer.
