The four-week event series War and Peace, based on what is considered the greatest novel ever written, will air on January 18 at 9 PM (for two hours each week) on A&E, History and Lifetime.
Set against the backdrop of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, the event series tells the ultimate story of passion and romance, scandal and deceit, following the rise and fall of fortunes of five aristocratic families: The Bezukhovs, Bolkonskys, Rostovs, Kuragins, and Drubetskoys, who are all jockeying for top position in the waning days of imperial Russia.
The cast includes Paul Dano (12 Years a Slave and Love & Mercy), Lily James (Downton Abbey and Cinderella), Gillian Anderson (Hannibal and The X-Files), Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter franchise) and James Norton (Grantchester and Death Comes to Pemberley).
Note: The event series will air each week through February 8.
