Concordia Creations is currently working on an ambitious project called The Empress. This epic female focused historical drama tells the story of Agrippina the Younger. Born in Roman nobility, she has had to deal with inequality and a struggle for power. In The Empress, the aim is to tell the story from her vision and not from the male ancient historians.
At Concordia Creations, we believe that a TV show is the best platform to show the life of Agrippina. This true story is as epic as Game of Thrones with a bit of The Godfather combined, or Godmother in this case. This TV show is under development in a format that spans 5 seasons, each season with its own epic conflict. It’s sometimes hard to realize that we’re dealing with a true story here.
Agrippina the Younger is mainly known as being the mother of emperor Nero, the sister of emperor Caligula and the wife (and cousin) of emperor Claudius. Ancient historians have depicted her as an evil shrew, but recent studies have shown that these assumptions weren’t based on anything concrete. In The Empress, the team wants to show a revised image of Agrippina. An image of a woman fighting to keep the power within her family. A woman facing an almost insurmountable obstacle being a woman in a world completely controlled by men. But also of a woman not willing to give up, not afraid to fight her battles, and with a never ending desire to be seen for who she really was, the empress of the Roman Empire.
