Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and based on Amanda Foreman's novel "Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire", the project is about a beautiful woman in an unhappy marriage who falls in love with a young politician. An ancestor of Princess Di, she lived an extravagant, profligate and promiscuous life of political and romantic intrigue, becoming an important powerbroker amid Blighty’s ruling elite but also running up catastrophic gambling debts. She was alternately feted and reviled, and widely caricatured by the popular press.
