Amadeus starring Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) has landed a May 8, 2026, US premiere date on Starz. Starz also released a new trailer that teases the adversarial relationship between the titular character and composer Antonio Salieri, played by WandaVision‘s Paul Bettany.
In addition to Sharpe and Bettany, the five-episode limited series features Gabrielle Creevy (Three Women) as Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife, Constanze Weber; Rory Kinnear (The Diplomat) as Emperor Joseph; Lucy Cohu (Becoming Jane) as Cecilia Weber; Jonathan Aris (The Sixth Commandment) as Leopold Mozart, and Ényì Okoronkwo (Renegade Nell) as Da Ponte.
Jessica Alexander (The Little Mermaid) plays Katerina, Hugh Sachs (Bridgerton) is Von Strack, Paul Bazely (Such Brave Girls) is Von Swieten, Rupert Vansittart (Game of Thrones) is Rosenberg, and Anastasia Martin (In From The Cold) is Aloysia Weber. Rounding out the ensemble are Nancy Farino (Masters of the Air) as Josepha Weber, Olivia-Mai Barrett (Invasion) as Sophie Weber, Viola Prettejohn (The Crown) as Princess Elizabeth, and Jyuddah Jaymes (The Boys in The Boat) as Franz Süssmayr.
Starz offers this description of Amadeus:
“When twenty-five-year-old Amadeus arrives in bustling 18th-century Vienna, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber, and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri. As Amadeus’ brilliance continues to flourish in spite of his personal demons, a questionable reputation, and skepticism from the conservative court, Salieri becomes increasingly tormented by this apparent divine gift.
Amadeus is a threat to all that he holds dear in life: his talent, his reputation, even his faith in God. Salieri vows to bring him down. What begins as professional rivalry turns into a deeply personal obsession spanning 30 years, culminating in a murder confession and a desperate attempt to entwine himself with Mozart’s legacy forever.”
Joe Barton (Black Doves) wrote the limited series and Julian Farino (Giri/Haji) and Alice Seabright (Sex Education) directed the period drama. Barton, Farino, Will Sharpe, Paul Bettany, John Griffin, Rupert Lord, Megan Spanjian, Paul Gilbert, Michael Jackson, and Stephen Wright serve as executive producers.
Amadeus is produced by Two Cities Television (part of STV Studios) in association with Sky Studios.
