LatestLucy Worsley concludes her history of the Romanov dynasty, investigating how the family's grip on Russia unraveled in their final century. She shows how the years 1825-1918 were bloody and traumatic, a period when four tsars tried - and failed - to deal with the growing pressure for constitutional reform and revolution.
Lucy Worsley travels to Russia to tell the extraordinary story of the dynasty that ruled the country for more than three centuries - the Romanovs.
Acting
Worsley's unapologetic enthusiasm carries every frame.
Production
Unprecedented access to Russian archives and palaces.
Writing
Sharp scripts that find humanity in centuries-old politics.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Worsley filmed during a tense diplomatic period—Russian authorities initially restricted access to the Alexander Palace cellar where the family was executed.
The series sparked debate in Russia itself, where Romanov nostalgia competes with Soviet-era narratives about 'Bloody Nicholas.' Worsley walks that tightrope carefully.
