Returning to Showtime for its second season, THE BORGIAS is an epic series centered on the BORGIA family, an Italian dynasty of Spanish origin and massive wealth. Created by NEIL JORDAN, the Award-winning series stars JEREMY IRONS, FRANCOIS ARNAUD, HOLLIDAY GRAINGER, JOANNE WHALLEY, DAVID OAKES and COLM FEORE.

As Rodrigo Borgia, the family patriarch who becomes Pope Alexander VI, JEREMY IRONS plays an ambitious and ruthless leader oblivious to the poverty of the common people outside the family castle. At the recent press conference to promote the upcoming season, IRONS likened the BORGIAS to the current “occupy” movement. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
