In episode 52, we welcome back Ben Vanstone (ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL), showrunner, executive producer, and writer for the much-anticipated drama series, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW (Paramount+ SHOWTIME). The 8-part series is based on author Amor Towles’s internationally bestselling novel of the same name (one of the podcast's recommended 2023 Summer Reads.)
The story centers on the life of Count Alexandre Rostov, played by Ewan McGregor, who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history. Spared immediate execution, Count Rostov is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol and threatened with death — that is he will be shot – if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the tumultuous decades in Russian history fold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family, and love.
