The new drama, which also stars Tony Hale and Zosia Mamet, premieres on the streaming giant on 25 July.

The synopsis for the show reads, “The Decameron is a soapy dark comedy that examines the all-too-timely theme of class struggles in the season of a pandemic.

In the year 1348, the Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence, and a handful of nobles retreat with their servants to a grand villa to wait out the plague with a lavish holiday.

“But as social rules wear thin, a scramble for survival ensues, brought to life by a cast of characters both cunning and outrageous.”
