Experience one of the most explosive periods of history-the English Civil War-through the eyes of a passionate young girl (Andrea Riseborough, Oblivion) who exploits a country in crisis in a bid to better her own position. With murder and misadventure following her wherever she goes, she becomes inextricably linked with key historical figures, including the heroic revolutionary Rainsborough (Michael Fassbender, X-Men: Apocalypse) and Oliver Cromwell (Dominic West, TV's The Wire). An ingenious blend of fact and fiction, THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS is a sumptuously rich miniseries event of love, betrayal, and renewal.
