'Mad Men' creator Matthew Weiner has a new TV series on the way soon to Amazon Prime that looks very promising indeed.

Called 'The Romanoffs', it's an anthology series that is created, written, directed and executive produced by nine-time Emmy award winner Weiner, featuring eight separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the famous Russian royal family.

Set in seven countries around the globe, 'The Romanoffs' was shot on location in three continents collaborating with local productions and creative talent across Europe, the Americas, and the Far East. Each story takes place in a new location with a new cast.

Weiner has brought on board some 'Mad Men' alumni too including John Slattery and Christina Hendricks while other cast members include Aaron Eckhart, Corey Stoll, Noah Wyle, Diane Lane and well, a shed-load more famous faces you will recognise:
