Starz has released the key art and full trailer for their upcoming series Dangerous Liaisons which will feature eight episodes. The series will debut on November 6 and is based on the Pierre Choderlos de Laclos classic.
Dangerous Liaisons tells the origin story of how the love story between Marquise de Merteuil (Alice Englert) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Nicholas Denton) unfolded on the cusp of the French revolution. Driven to correct the sins of their past, the duo rise from the poverty-stricken slums of Paris and manipulate their way to the French nobility and aristocracy, betraying and one-upping each other in a bid for survival.
Many adaptations of this story have been made in the past, including a modern take starring Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe in Cruel Intentions.
