War And Peace (Season 1)
Based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy, War & Peace is brought to new for a
new generation.
In 1805 when we first meet Pierre (Paul Dano), Natasha (Lily James), and Andrei
(James Norton), they are all part of St Petersburg’s glittering elite, but
are fired-up with youthful ambition to find meaning in their lives. Kind-hearted
but awkward Pierre, the illegitimate son of Russia’s richest man, wants to
change the world for the better. Handsome and gallant Andrei, frustrated with
the superficiality of his life, seeks a purpose, while the beautiful and
spirited Natasha is searching for true love. At the same time Napoleon’s army
edges ever closer to Russia’s borders. As everything they thought they knew
is questioned, Pierre, Andrei and Natasha find themselves in a time when Russian
society is about to change forever.
