Kit Harington returns to the screen as Sydney Carton in MGM+s fresh, four-part adaptation of Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities,” premiering September 6. Set against the turbulent backdrop of late-1700s London and Paris, this version dives deep into Carton’s tortured soul — a character Harington compares to Jon Snow — while giving Lucie Manette (played by Mirren Mack) more agency and modern depth. The cast aims to honor Dickens’ timeless tale while making the characters feel more relatable and human, especially through richer supporting roles.
