Julian Fellowes' 'Doctor Thorne' Trailer: Ian McShane & Alison Brie Topline Amazon-Bound Period Drama


Amazon released the first trailer of its new period drama “Julian Fellowes Presents Doctor Thorne.” Based on the book series by Anthony Trollope, the series stars Tom Hollander, Ian McShane and Alison Brie.

The story follows Dr. Thomas Thorne (Hollander), a man who lives a quiet life with his niece Mary (Stefani Martini) in the English village of Greshambury, which is ruled with an iron fist by the terrifying Lady Arabella Gresham (Rebecca Front). Their lives change when Lady Arabella’s son plans to elope with common-born Mary instead of go through with his arranged marriage to the rich American heiress Martha Dunstable (Brie). What many do not know is that the Gresham family have lost all their riches and Lady Arabella hopes to regain her fortune with the arranged marriage. For this, she will do anything in her powe to keep the plans intact.
