Episode notes
Milady de Winter is believed dead. But that’s never stopped her before.
Alexandre Dumas’ iconic femme fatale returns in Lucy Catherine’s wicked retelling of the story of the Three Musketeers’ deadliest adversary.
Rescued from the executioner’s blade by her shadowy benefactor Cardinal Richelieu, Milady yearns for a fresh start and the chance to reunite with her long-lost love.
But the Cardinal isn’t done with her yet. He has a new mission for her – one that will propel her into the company of the most dangerous figures in all of Europe.
