The Great grew into one of Hulu’s most critically acclaimed series in recent years, but that didn’t stop the streamer from announcing its shocking ending. It’s already been a few months since The Great was canceled, and its leading lady Elle Fanning is finally ready to talk about its ending.
The Emmy-nominated actress recently took to social media to share a few photos from her time on the set of The Great. She said she’s forever proud of what the cast and the crew of this series accomplished together, despite the fact she won’t get to lace up her corset one last time.
“This show has meant the world to me. The experiences shared. The memories I’ll never forget. Tony McNamara is a certified genius. The last 3 seasons have shaped me. Through playing Catherine I discovered parts of myself I didn’t know I had,” wrote Fanning.
The Great chronicled Catherine the Great’s rise to power, but it took a satirical approach to the source material and explored the alternate historical genre. In addition to Fanning, the series also starred Nicholas Hoult, Phoebe Fox, Sacha Dhawan, Charity Wakefield, Gwilym Lee, Adam Godley, Douglas Hodge, Belinda Bromilow, and Bayo Gbadamosi.
