Sam Esmail, The man behind Mr. Robot develops a series about “American Monarchy”
Monarchy in the USA?
The Man behind the successful series Mr. Robot. He is currently developing a series set in an alternate universe. He is Collaborating with Julius Onah who is a producer of The Cloverfield Paradox.
The series they develop is about a world where the USA is under Monarchy. The United States is a democratic country but It develops a fascination with the British Monarchs. Look at all the news about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Just because they have hens in their garden, The sales of backyard chickens increase.
Most countries in the Americas have a Presidential system. At a certain point though, Brazil has a Monarchy. The State of Hawaii was actually a Kingdom and their Monarchs are still alive but have no more power.
Alternate History dramas had been an interesting fascination because they show what could have been if history happens a different way. An interesting Alternate History series is The Man in the High Castle, which is set in the Universe where the USA lost World War II. There is also Hollywood, Which is in an alternate reality where Hollywood goes woke in the golden age.
I wonder what ethnicity the American Monarch will have? Are they going to be White or maybe Native American? The basic plot of their series is that there will be a succession battle because the King has an Illegitimate Black son who is the legal heir. So it is a male succession Monarchy. This could a succession battle between a nephew of the King and that Illegitimate son. Or it could be the Illegitimate son vs the King’s daughter. This series could be a big win or an epic failure. I cannot wait to see how it will turn out.
