MGM PLUS SEPTEMBER 2026 SCHEDULE
SERIES
A Tale of Two Cities
The limited series premieres on Sunday, September 6, with new episodes airing on Sundays at 10:00 pm ET/PT.
London, 1782. Tensions run high in the war between France and Britain. A young woman, Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack), has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris – her father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may be alive.
The messenger – idealistic French emigré Charles Darnay (François Civil) – is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Kit Harington), to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father.
Lucie’s collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful and complex love triangle. Both men fight to be worthy of her love, and Lucie is torn over which one to choose.
Yet neither man – physically so alike, spiritually poles apart – can escape the other. Instead, they find themselves bound together in life and death, through triumphs, tragedies, marriage, and murder.
The series was created and written by Daniel West, directed by Richard Clark, produced by Federation Stories and Simon Meyers, and co-produced by Federation Studio France and Thriker Films, for MGM+ and the BBC.
