“This repulsive creature played so exquisitely.” Sky TV has revealed a first look teaser trailer for Amadeus, a new series that is basically a remake of the Oscar-winning 1984 movie of the same name. Everyone in the entertainment is making series based on famous movies because it’s easier to get the rights for a series than it is to make another movie. Though it’s also a direct adaptation of the original 1979 play by Peter Shaffer. A 25-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart arrives in Vienna, Austria, during the 18th century where he meets a young singer who will become his wife (Constanze Mozart) and by way of her, the court composer Antonio Salieri. Starring Will Sharpe (seen in A Real Pain) as musical prodigy Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart, Paul Bettany as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, and Gabrielle Creevy as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife. Also featuring Rory Kinnear as Emperor Joseph, Lucy Cohu, Jonathan Aris, Ényì Okoronkwo, and Jessica Alexander. This will be streaming in the UK this December, though no details on the US debut yet. So far so good, this looks as spunky and rebellious as the beloved movie. Check it out.
Here’s the first look teaser trailer for Joe Barton’s series Amadeus, direct from Sky TV’s YouTube:
When 25-year-old Amadeus (Will Sharpe) arrives in bustling Vienna in the 18th Century, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber (Gabrielle Creevy), and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri (Paul Bettany). Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, this spectacular five-part reimagination explores the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers — and rockstar virtuoso of the 18th century, Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart. Amadeus is a mini-series created and written by screenwriter Joe Barton (of The Ritual, My Days of Mercy, Encounter, The Union, “The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself”, “The Lazarus Project”, “Black Doves”). It’s also co-created by Julian Farino. Based on the original Amadeus play by Peter Shaffer first performed in 1979. With episodes directed by Julian Farino and Alice Seabright. Produced by Sky Studios. Executive produced by Paul Gilbert, Megan Spanjian, Michael Jackson, Will Sharpe, Julian Farino, Stephen Wright. Sky will debut their new Amadeus series streaming on Sky TV starting December 2025 this year. No info on a US release just yet – stay tuned. Who’s interested?
