'Victoria' season 2: Cast members tease what to expect

The premiere date of “Victoria” season 2 has been set for January 14, 2018. The date will avoid clashing with other big drama series, making sure fans won’t be forced to choose among their favourites. A new video has been released online, in which the cast members tease the broad strokes of what to expect next year.

At the heart of it, the PBS TV series is a human story. The new video (see below) shows the cast members emphasising this very aspect of the show. The plot may be about royalty, power, and everything that goes with it; but at the same time, it is a tender love story of a woman and her husband, as she figures out how she can deal with problems that plague her monarchy and country.

In the backdrop of the drama is a lavish setting, as well as elaborate costumes appropriate for the era. The cast members also teased the writing this time around to be “insightful.”

While the show explores serious issues of the time, there is still scope for fun. The royals deal with their problems, and people who work at the palace have their own issues to deal with.

In terms of plot, Jenna Coleman teased “a lot of babies.” As a mother, the queen may face a new set of personal challenges. Her monarchy, on the other hand, is secured more firmly with children.

There will be a lot of politics the queen will have to deal with. But unlike before, when she had to face problems alone, she now has a loving husband that supports her and someone who can share her burdens.

The video on Facebook has over five thousand reactions and over a thousand shares as of writing. Commenting on the post, fans expressed their excitement and eagerness for the show to return.
