Where Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy ends, an even bigger story begins: Verona is burning in the first trailer for Shonda Rhimes’ ABC drama Still Star-Crossed, a project that picks up where William Shakespeare’s story left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.
The story centers on Rosaline (Lashana Lynch), a gorgeous, intelligent and headstrong Capulet and Juliet’s cousin, who is ordered to marry Benvolio (Wade Briggs), a Montague.
Co-starring are
Anthony Head and
as
Lord and Lady Capulet,
Torrance Coombs as Count Paris,
Sterling Sulieman as Prince Escalus, and Grant Bowler as Lord Montague.
