Merteuil wants revenge on Valmont in the first Merteuil trailer
And the least we can say is that the first trailer released this Thursday, October 16 sets the tone! After being manipulated by Valmont (Vincent Lacoste), who promises miracles to take advantage of her charms, Merteuil is determined to regain control of her life.
Angry and hungry for revenge, the young woman then turns to Madame de Rosemond (Diane Kruger)! Valmont’s aunt becomes his mentor, teaching him how to climb the ladder in a society controlled by men, and in particular Count Jercourt (Lucas Bravo).
Will Mertuel be blinded by his pride?
Torn between her love and hatred for Valmont, will Isabelle be able to exact her revenge? Is he not in danger of being lost in this crusade, where only his pride guides him? Between desire, power struggles and manipulation, the series offers a new take on the famous romance.
A historical fiction shot in a natural setting is transported into a resolutely modern adaptation with smooth staging. Suffice it to say, if you like costume series and love stories that are as complicated as they are charming, then you’ll love Merteuil.
Therefore, we can only advise you not to miss this little nugget, which will definitely not leave you indifferent! See you on November 14th on HBO MAX to discover its six episodes Merteuil.
