The eight-part series is airing in the U.K. "As a frontrunner in defending women's rights, she was a tough woman who was both feared and cherished and was strong enough to seal the fate of the Roman Empire." "I’m thrilled to be playing such a complex character as Livia Drusilla in Domina," Smutniak said in a statement. Game of Thrones alum Liam Cunningham plays Livius, Livia’s father, alongside Isbella Rosellini as his wife Balbina.
Though both were married when they met, they divorced and wed each other - and remained married for the next 51 years.ĭevils' Kasia Smutniak stars as Livia Drusilla opposite an international cast that includes Matthew McNulty as the future Emperor Augustus, Claire Forlani as Claudia Octavia, Christine Bottomley as Scribonia, Gaius’ first wife and Livia’s mortal enemy Colette Dalal Tchantcho as Antigone, Livia’s trusted handmaid who has been granted freedom and becomes her confidant Ben Batt as Agrippa, Gaius’ childhood friend, then general and later consul. Her life certainly had no shortage of drama: She was forced to flee Italy when her first husband ended up on the wrong side of the fallout from Caesar's assassination, her father committed suicide (along with the infamous Cassius and Brutus) at the Battle of Philippi, and she lived in exile with her sons Tiberius and Drusus in the years leading up to Octavian's reign.

Over two million years ago, a technologically and socially advanced alien species inhabited the vast water covered planet of Tau Volantis. When American audiences think of period dramas, our minds tend to go immediately to England in Tudor, Victorian, or Regency times and popular shows like Bridgerton, Victoria, Downton Abbey, or The Tudors.
