“We are honored to be working with this incredibly talented group of filmmakers on The Palace,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming in a statement. “The notion that Kate Winslet and Stephen Frears, two of our industry’s leading lights (who — remarkably — have never collaborated before now), are joining forces to bring Will Tracy’s wildly original, prescient, and dazzling scripts to life at HBO is a dream come true for us.”
