New Worlds Synopsis
The sequel to Channel 4’s critically acclaimed The Devil’s Whore, New Worlds is a gripping story of love, loss and the human price paid for the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. We follow the fortunes of four young people – Beth, Hope, Abe and Ned – from across both sides of the Atlantic, caught up in these turbulent times.
In England, the restored monarchy of Charles II has betrayed its promises and reverted to tyranny. In America, the tentacles of state terror reach the English colonists of New England who are struggling to throw off the shackles of the English Crown. At the same time the colonists are ruthlessly staking their claim to the territories occupied by the Native American Indians, and shedding much of the American Indian’s blood in the process – a chilling echo of the tyrannical behaviour that they sought to escape when they crossed the Atlantic.
Starring Jamie Dornan, Freya Mavor, Joe Dempsie and Alice Englert.
