‘The Regime’: Kate Winslet Gets Political in Trailer for HBO Limited Series (VIDEO)

HBO has unveiled the first official teaser trailer for its next Kate Winslet-led limited series, The Regime, which was previously announced as The Palace.

The actress, who won Emmy gold for her leading role in the premium cabler’s Mare of Easttown, is dressing things up as the apparent leader of a modern European regime. Tension abounds as Winslet’s character meets with an American representative played by Martha Plimpton. Other moments in the teaser for the authoritarian satire offer a wider look at the chaos going on as The Regime follows a year within the walls of a palace of a crumbling regime.
