The eight-episode drama, the first series for Netflix by Shonda Rhimes’s production company, was a slam dunk with Netflix reported that 82 million households watched the series in its first month following a Christmas Day 2020 release. The show has multiple storylines but opens with courting season in 1813 London, with social machinations, scheming and scandal galore as only the most rich and powerful families strategize to pairing off their young eligibles. Because all is well in love and war.
Page who won this years NAACP Image Award for outstanding actor in a drama series, recently finished filming the another Netflix spy thriller “The Gray Man.” He next appears in a role of the film adaptation of “Dungeons & Dragons.”
