DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, September 2023) MASTERPIECE has announced that it will air MaryLand, the three-part miniseries starring Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack), Eve Best (House of the Dragon) and Stockard Channing (The West Wing). MaryLand will premiere on April 7, 2024 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS, on air and online. When it aired in the UK, television critics praised the series as "a moving portrait of sisterhood" (The Independent), "intriguing" (The Times), and "beautifully played" (The Scotland Herald). MaryLand is a story about two sisters, about what binds them together and what has driven them apart. Becca (Jones) and Rosaline (Best) find themselves thrown together by the sudden death of their mother, Mary. They come to find out that she was living an entirely secret life on the Isle of Man, far from her home with her husband, Becca and Rosaline's father. As the sisters travel through the early days of grief and discover their mother's secrets, they meet their mother's quirky friend Cathy (Channing) who seems to know more about their mother than they do. Becca and Rosaline find themselves asking fundamental questions about their identities and the relationships with the men in their lives. Mary's death offers them a chance to not only reframe their relationship but fundamentally reshape who they are. At its heart, MaryLand is a love story of two sisters. |
