The Count of Monte Cristo is an upcoming English-language television miniseries directed by Bille August and starring Sam Claflin. It is an adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name.
The production will reportedly have a "contemporary feel" whilst remaining "faithful to the legacy" of the original work. [1]
Carlo Degli Esposti had been working on the series for half a decade. It is produced by Mediawan with Palomar in Italy and DEMD Productions in France, and in association with Entourage Ventures. Its commissioning broadcasters are RAI and France Televisions. [3]
In 2023, filming took place at the Palais-Royal in Paris. [4] Other filming locations include Turin, Milan, and Malta. [5] Jeremy Irons told Variety that the castle used in production in Malta is the same age as the one written about in Dumas' original text. [6]
The series is expected to air in 2024. [7]
