Dickens Reimagined with Kit Harington | Spokane News

Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” gets a bold new adaptation on MGM Plus, starring Kit Harington as the tormented Sydney Carton and Mirren Mack as the fiercely independent Lucie Manette. Set against the turbulent backdrops of London and Paris in the late 1700s, the four-part series follows Lucie’s quest to find her long-lost father—and the passionate, dangerous triangle that forms between her, Sydney, and Charles Darnay. Harington draws parallels between his brooding role and Jon Snow, while Mack reveals Lucie’s newfound agency. Though Sydney is nearly flawless as written—wild, desperate, yet deeply alive—the cast says this version modernizes the emotional core, offering fresh depth to a story told more than a dozen times before.
