After raising the bar with release of The Boys, Amazon Prime is set to release its next blockbuster : Carnival Row. The show is a neo-noir fantasy based TV series and it premieres on August 30, 2019, on Amazon Prime. Carnival Row is an 8-episode series and the leading cast includes Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne.
Why ‘Different Is Dangerous’ For Orlando Bloom & Cara Delevingne?
The mythical creatures are forced to live with humans in the city when their homeland is destroyed. Orlando Bloom plays the role of Rycroft Philostrate, a detective. Whereas, Cara Delevingne is Vignette Stonemoss, a fae. Both of them rekindle a dangerous affair in a Victorian Fantasy Land. Meanwhile, the city is facing disturbance as a string of murders reveals an unimaginable monster. The show is a love story as well as a noir-crime thriller. Hence, different is dangerous considering both Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne belong to different species. Their love is kind of forbidden. Moreover, the murderer, which in fact is the unimaginable monster, is someone not human and not fae. So, both the humans and the fae are in danger.
Should human and fae be allowed to love? #CarnivalRow
