Starz will be premiering season two of the dramatic series Da Vinci’s Demons on March 22, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT. Starring Tom Riley as Leonardo da Vinci, the series debuted in 2013 to Starz’ highest numbers for a first season premiere. Created by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter, Man of Steel writer), Da Vinci’s Demons‘ second season will consist of ten new episodes.
The cast also includes Laura Haddock as Lucrezia Donati; Elliot Cowan as the de factor ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver as Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson as the ruthless and unwavering Count Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV.
The Plot: Brilliant and passionate, the 25-year- old Leonardo da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer, and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time.
Season two of Da Vinci’s Demons finds Florence thrown into chaos in the wake of the Pazzi conspiracy. Lorenzo is gravely ill and Leonardo da Vinci must push the limits of his mind and body to defend the city against the forces of Rome. While the Medicis go to unthinkable lengths to deal with new threats, da Vinci continues on his quest to find the fabled Book of Leaves and uncover the secret history of his mother.
He’ll come to realize that he has lethal competition in his quest — new enemies who may be even worse than the forces of Pope Sixtus. His search will take him to faraway lands and force him to reevaluate everything he knew about the world and his own history.
