HBO has ordered the limited series The Palace, which Kate Winslet will star in and executive produce.

The Palace tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of an authoritarian regime as it begins to unravel. The limited series will be directed and executive produced by Stephen Frears and showrun, written by and executive produced by Will Tracy.

Francesca Orsi, executive VP of HBO Programming, said: “We are honored to be working with this incredibly talented group of filmmakers on The Palace. The notion that Kate Winslet and Stephen Frears, two of our industry’s leading lights (who, remarkably, have never collaborated before now), are joining forces to bring Will Tracy’s wildly original, prescient and dazzling scripts to life at HBO is a dream come true for us.”
