Mary & George is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers, who moulded her beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher.
Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with her ruthless political steel, Mary married her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colluded with criminals and clawed her way into the heart of the Establishment, making it her own.
Mary & George is a dangerously daring historical psychodrama about an outrageous mother and son who schemed, seduced, and killed to conquer the court of England and the bed of King James.

Everything We Know About Mary & George
BY EMILY BURACK PUBLISHED: NOV 16, 2023
Mary & George, a new period drama which will chronicle the affair between King James I and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, promises to be one of the most highly anticipated shows of 2024.
In fact, the romance between the two is referenced in Casey McQuiston's Red, White, & Royal Blue novel, wherein the fictional Prince Henry writes, "I feel that James I, who fell madly in love with a very fit and exceptionally dim knight at a tilting match and immediately made him a gentleman of the bedchamber (a real title), would take mercy upon my particular plight." In a fun turn of events, actor Nicholas Galitzine stars as both Henry in Red, White, and Royal Blue and as the "very fit knight," a.k.a. George, Duke of Buckingham.
Here's everything we know about Mary & George so far:
It's based on a true story.
Mary & George is adapted from The King's Assassin by Benjamin Woolley, a nonfiction book that details "the conspiracy to kill King James I by his handsome lover, the Duke of Buckingham."
Per Sky Atlantic, "Mary & George is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers, who moulded her beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher."
Galitzine is also set to star in Red, White, and Royal Blue this year.SKY AND AMC
The plot continues: "Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with her ruthless political steel, Mary married her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colluded with criminals and clawed her way into the heart of the Establishment, making it her own. Mary & George is a dangerously daring historical psychodrama about an outrageous mother and son who schemed, seduced, and killed to conquer the court of England and the bed of King James."

It happened so fast — just like that, a strange curse enveloped the world, stripping away the fairy tale life and intertwining it into a modern world. It altered the very course of everyone's lives and shrouded their memories in an unbreachable haze. There are no answers to sort through in its wake, 𝒏𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅, and, seemingly, no hope to rally behind. All they're certain of is that the language of Starfall City is 𝒔𝒊𝒏... What they don't know is how literal that is. Every soul is tied to a magicless realm by one of the seven deadly sins, leaving them all to wrestle with their own demons just as the city grapples with its own past. No one knows the trail they once led, only their belief in the one that they walk now. Will they seek atonement or are they intent on 𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏?

wasn’t Katherine Villiers forced to marry George? I can’t remember but I could’ve sworn there was a forced marriage somewhere.
it was complicate.
Katherine was chosen by mary, oc, 'cause she was an heiress
her father said no, he did not want his only daughter married with a goldigger
Mary encourage her daughter Susan to befriend Katherine
one evening Katherine was with Susan and mary, who succed to let her stay for the night
during the night, or in the evening George arrived
the next day Mary informed Kate about that, adding that she was ruined, no one would marry her after a night under a single man's roof
she had the solution: a wedding with her own son who was so "kindheart" who dind't care
This is what happened, between number 5 and number 6 there are 2 hypotesis
A) George goes to Kate's room and r*ped her, or force her to have sex
B) nothing happened but Kate's reputation is ruined
So, it was not a "classical" forced marriage but Kate hyad only two options: marry George or be socially ruined and her father couldn't do anything to save her
