It just figures that as soon as we missed a few episodes of “Da Vinci’s Demons,” they went and introduced Vlad Dracula into the mix. If you’re in the same boat, don’t worry; you can catch up this weekend!
Leading up to the all new Episode 1.07, “The Hierophant,” premiering Friday, May 31st, at 9pm ET/PT, Starz will present special Memorial Day Weekend Marathons of the Original Series “Da Vinci’s Demons” beginning Friday, May 24th, with the three latest episodes of the series (1.04, 1.05, and 1.06) airing back-to-back at 9pm ET/PT. Viewers can also watch the ENTIRE season so far (Episodes 1.01 through 1.06) on Saturday, May 25th, and Sunday, May 26th, on Starz Edge, beginning at 9pm ET/PT each night.
The series stars Tom Riley as a 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci on the cusp of greatness, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman; Laura Haddock as Lucrezia Donati, a celebrated beauty with obscure motives; Elliot Cowan as the shrewd de facto ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver as his wife, Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson as Pope Sixtus’ ruthless bastard son, Count Riario. David S. Goyer served as showrunner.
