TheSerpentQueen showrunner Justin Haythe breaks down the most pivotal moments of the Season 1 finale and Catherine's bloody destination.
From writer and executive producer Justin Haythe and director and executive producer Stacie Passon , Starz's latest period drama The Serpent Queen tells the story of one of history's most complex and complicated figures, Catherine de Medici, who ascends in power and status to become one of France's longest-serving rulers.
But you're waiting for the moment where you say, "Okay, now you've stepped over a line." I really empathized with her for that reason, but also I found the world so absurd that she lives in. That kind of irreverent humor that's in the show, I hope, came to me right away. So it's something I wanted to do immediately.
Those two ideas melded to come up with this idea of her narrating her own life story as an act of manipulation, but also that she would be telling the story to somebody. When she turns to the camera, she's telling the story to Rahima in this case. So that was a sort of different take on the direct address, which has been around since the ancient Greeks and Shakespeare, and House of Cards more recently, Fleabag.
HAYTHE: Well, there's an old saying about this — in writing drama, you can't confuse an audience, but you can directly contradict or lie. You can have somebody do something good one minute and something bad the next minute as opposed to something [where] you're not really sure what it is. But I would say in this case, where we really remain ambiguous is around the black magic.
