The Regime is a darkly comedic six-episode series that tells the story of life within the walls of a fictional European autocracy as it begins to unravel. Chancellor Elena Vernham (portrayed by Academy Award-winning Kate Winslet) leads this regime, but her dictatorship is showing cracks. She grows increasingly paranoid and unstable, eventually turning to a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak (played by Matthias Schoenaerts), as an unlikely confidant. As Zubak’s influence over the chancellor grows, Elena’s attempts to expand her power result in both the palace and the country fracturing around her.
