If you have actually seen Tenet, whether or not you actually understood it, you understand that nobody serves hammy super-villainy better than Gilderoy Lockhart Sir Kenneth Branagh. It is a stroke of best– if not psychically tiring– casting news to find out that Branagh will play prime minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson in an upcoming restricted drama series about the early days of the coronavirus outbreak. The five-episode miniseries, presently titled This Sceptred Island, “will trace the impact on Britain from this once-in-a-generation pandemic, and the action of scientists, nurses, and doctors as they worked tirelessly and heroically to include and conquer the virus,” The Hollywood Reporter reports. Michael Winterbottom of the four-part The Journey legend has co-written the series with Kieron Quirke and will direct all 5 episodes. It will all be worth it for Branagh bloviating in a scraggly BoJo wig.
