Overview
- Amadeus launches 21 December on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the U.K., with Australian screenings the same day on Binge and Showcase.
- The series spans five episodes and is written by Joe Barton from Peter Shaffer’s play, presented as a fresh adaptation rather than a remake of the 1984 film.
- Will Sharpe stars as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Paul Bettany as Antonio Salieri, alongside Gabrielle Creevy as Constanze and Rory Kinnear as Emperor Joseph.
- Cast interviews highlight that the five-hour runtime allows more viewpoints and aims for accessibility to viewers unfamiliar with classical music or past versions.
- The production was filmed in Hungary, with period locations and design underscoring the Vienna-set drama.
