This is the family that inspired Machiavelli to write his classic on politics "The Prince". Here is a family who understood power intimately and knew how to wield it effectively. In an age of intrigue, deceit, passion, treachery, and violence these individuals came close to uniting all of Italy into a kingdom that was divided into rival mafia style territories by the petty ambitions of the Orsinis, the Sforzas, the Viscontis and the Medicis. Showtime has here an excellent recipe for Emmies.
I will watch this for Borgias. Have few books about them in my bookshelf. One of the most interesting families in the whole world. Others being Habsburg and Romanov. Maybe even Medici.
Beautiful show and the only reason I subscribed to Showtime. I wish the network would re-consider filming the final chapter of the story with the original actors.

Yes - hope fully this will allay Tudors withdrawal - but we have to wait sooo long! Jeremy Irons is fabulous. One of my fav actors. He is gonna rock it!
i'm a huge fan of the tudors. and pillars of the earth. and david oakes. AND TREVOR MORRIS'S MUSIC. since this fits into the same type of categories as pillars and tudors, i am SO excited for this. CAAAAAAAN'T WAITTTTT :D
This is going to be good I can tell. Now all I have to do is read about the Borgia family before the show airs instead of learning history from a tv screen which is what people my age do today for the most part!
Since the Tudors I think showtime's and other channels want to revive other famous historical characters that I agree are interesting to study. I HAVE LIKED THE TUDORS AND i SEE TEHY ARE REVIVING SOME OF THE TUDORS in the new series. I can't wait and the fact jeremy irons is going to interpret rodrigo borgia I am going to see it, but I know that they are going to take creative license since the tudors took a lot of that!
Thank you Borgia family, as through your vile, corrupt & disgusting reign, you set the wheels of the Protestant reformation in motion & 500 years later We Catholics today are still paying for Your sins!
Oh give it a rest, religion was invented to give certain people power over the rest of the people, playing on their fears and hopes, exploiting the lack of knowledge about weather and nature of the common man back then. You'd think that since everyone nowdays who has access to the internet has a pretty much limitless supply of information at their fingertips, and shouldnt have to believe that the world is as it is because a man gave up a rib thousands of years ago, and a talking snake tricked a woman into eating a apple...
@brendandarcy : No, the costumes will be other ones. Because the story takes place in the 15th century, and not the 16th. Also the Italian style of clothing was different from the English or French. So I'm pretty sure they won't use (or little) costumes from The Tudors and Elizabethan movies.
@sergejisd Rodrigo Borgia (Borja, actually) was from what was then the Kingdom of Aragon, in Spain. His more famous children, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, were born of a Roman mistress.
The Godfather was based on Augustus and Tiberius--the first two Roman emperors. The existing version of the Borgias is nearly perfect--all they need to do is replay that, not make something that is evidently going to try to pass off Baroque Rome as existing in the 1490s (nice to see the 18th century observatory on top of one of the locations).. The 50,000 people who watched this should watch the full Borgias on TH-cam, the only place its available.
@itsibitsispiderUSMC Sorry to disappoint but quite alot of the wardrobe came from previous series of The Tudors and from other film sets so it will most likely be used again by Ardmore Studios or sold to other production companies. As for props, what can't be reused has long ago been dispatched of. I would have loved to have given a home to some of those fibreglass replica statues...
@TaliaG999 Borgia is Tom Fontana's child. Hirschbiegel is just a director, which in television means almost nothing. The writers are king on the small screen and Fontana created it. But yeah, Borgia does look pretty awesome.
In the 0:17, 0:23, 0:25, 0:55, 1:32 second there are scenes of The Tudors opening. OMG Jeremy Irons in The Borgias, he's a great actor, so this series will be as great as The Tudors.
When the BBC made "The Borgias" miniseries in the early 1980s, Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) was played by the late Adolfo Celi, of James Bond "Thunderball" villainy. His relative unfamiliarity with English and broad Sicilian accent didn't do the production any favors.
@orodriguezarrutia You're misinterpreting what they said about the Godfather. Actually, in the Godfather part III, Michael Corleone exclaims " The Borgias!" in reference to the corrupt Clergy. Wiki also says that The Borgias were Valencian (Spanish)-Italian noble family. In the description of Christopher Hibbert's biography of the Borgias, it says that through marriage, bribery & nepotism they rose from their relatively humble Spanish roots to become one of the most powerful clans in Italy.
lol i just started to play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 2 weeks ago and then my friend tells me about this show and im like, whaaaat Borgia is the same name used in AC... odd... omg same story. LOVE
@BytheseaMrTodd agreed i think they shouldve kept going with edward andmary (cause the director of the tudors already has done elizabeth, cate blanchett starred in both flims)
Cant wait to see.... im sure it will be fantastic... some gore along the way will be fun...Eg tortutre/Executions....... Can someone do a re-make of the Tv Mini Series... PETER THE GREAT......
I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed and I want to know everything about this family and about the italian renaissance. Yep, because of the game, but I'm still curious. I watched the first episode and I liked it.
@leefbeef dude, someone else posted that. you might wanna look at the nicknames. check the spelling and stuff of the usernames... there's a pretty big difference between drunkalice and aliaofdune if you look close enough at the letters
@JuliaLeigh711 This show has a multi-million dollar budget. I'm sure it can afford to actually SHOOT new scenes rather than use old footage from a show set in a completely different time period. They should've waited until they actually shot footage to start promoting it.
True Catholic holier than all the saints you have not already canonized Well you this omission Catholics is your icon and an example of a worthy role model
@yougonasorry OMG haha thats so true! but i knew about the borgias because of cantarella(a manga) and my brother got assassins creed brotherhood so i wen in his room and im like"1500s?are the borgias in there i love cesare" and my brother freaked he was like"what?!how u know abt the borgias"so yeah now all the borgia fans love assassins creed and creed fans love the borgias............i told him everything abt them and helped him alot but yup acb fans are gonna watch this xD too bad no ezio xD
I feel so out of place haha. Everyone here is like older than me I bet and here I am watching these shows that I'm addicted to and surprisingly understand. I'm going miss the tudors but they should have added more like for the golden age of queen Elizabeth, the bloody Mary, or henry's son. Although I am looking forward to the borgias, and when I was playing Assassins creed 2, they had rodrigo in their and if you see assassins creed brotherhood, it talks more about the borgias family
I cant believe I watched this for the first time in 2021.. Please make season 4. thank you
Tell your friends
Well I'm just now about to watch it in February 2022.🤷♀️🤦♀️ Lol
I miss this show so much... Please please PLEASE make a season 4!
I don't think it's gonna happen.
Im watching it in 2024 great show. I loved the cast of Caesar, Lucrezia and Alexandre. They run the show for me.
Great show! I love Jeremy Irons, wish it would've continued.
You really need to make a season 4..... honestly.
I also love the Tudors and can't wait for the Borgias!
This is the family that inspired Machiavelli to write his classic on politics "The Prince". Here is a family who understood power intimately and knew how to wield it effectively.

Cesare was the real Prince
i think the Borgias also inspired G.R.R martin to write the Lannisters.
I will watch this for Borgias. Have few books about them in my bookshelf.
One of the most interesting families in the whole world. Others being Habsburg and Romanov. Maybe even Medici.
this is going to be amazing. i can't wait
Oh trespass sweet the urge - give me my historical drama NOW! I cannot wait to see Irons as Rodrigo Borgia.
I was in this movie extras. It was nice: D
Amazing show, no idea why it was canceled...
Beautiful show and the only reason I subscribed to Showtime. I wish the network would re-consider filming the final chapter of the story with the original actors.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!
I hear Jeremy Irons and I just picture Scar from the Lion King. Be Prepared!!!

Look's fantastic :) can't wait!
Oh, so this has nothing to do with Assasins Creed Brotherhood except the Borgias history.
Great show. Best portrayal of human greed, insanity, gullible beings, unnecessary complexity, hunger for power.
I can't wait for this. Jeremy Irons is
please please please film season 4. i love the borgias!!!!!!!!
Yes - hope fully this will allay Tudors withdrawal - but we have to wait sooo long!
Jeremy Irons is fabulous. One of my fav actors. He is gonna rock it!
I have seen a Spanish Movie named The borgias about this family and I can tell you This family was a real mafia. Cant wait to see it on Showtime!!!
Jeremy Irons is so classy
I'm intrigued by the Borgia family because of the Assassin's Creed series... It will be interesting to see the differences in their portrayal.
Where is season 4......why why....I'm so sad :(
Nice trailer and I hope that series comes out soon. The Borgias sort of remind me of an early Mafia.
i'm a huge fan of the tudors. and pillars of the earth. and david oakes. AND TREVOR MORRIS'S MUSIC.
since this fits into the same type of categories as pillars and tudors, i am SO excited for this. CAAAAAAAN'T WAITTTTT :D
It looks amazing! But what's with all the random footage from the starting titles of 'The Tudors' doing in there?
It's amazing!!! The Borgias... Very interesting!
600trillon dollars on the Bank of America Building , 600trillon dollars Shelter Insurance ,600trillon dollars Obama Admistration , Joey Fontaine ways
Is there a release date? I really can't wait!!
Una historia muy intensa e interesante y con gran presupuesto, promete ser una digna sucesora de los Tudor, además JEremy Irons es excelente actor!!!
Watching this for the first time 2022🥶
Where is ezzio auditorie?
with great stories like the house of Borgias,Tudors and Medici. Please tell me, are there any other dynasties like those?
This is going to be good I can tell. Now all I have to do is read about the Borgia family before the show airs instead of learning history from a tv screen which is what people my age do today for the most part!
Me gustaba tanto está serie
Since the Tudors I think showtime's and other channels want to revive other famous historical characters that I agree are interesting to study. I HAVE LIKED THE TUDORS AND i SEE TEHY ARE REVIVING SOME OF THE TUDORS in the new series. I can't wait and the fact jeremy irons is going to interpret rodrigo borgia I am going to see it, but I know that they are going to take creative license since the tudors took a lot of that!
im shocked this show didn't have sucess it looks really good
Thank you Borgia family, as through your vile, corrupt & disgusting reign, you set the wheels of the Protestant reformation in motion & 500 years later We Catholics today are still paying for Your sins!
Religion is the past.
Oh give it a rest, religion was invented to give certain people power over the rest of the people, playing on their fears and hopes, exploiting the lack of knowledge about weather and nature of the common man back then. You'd think that since everyone nowdays who has access to the internet has a pretty much limitless supply of information at their fingertips, and shouldnt have to believe that the world is as it is because a man gave up a rib thousands of years ago, and a talking snake tricked a woman into eating a apple...
There are stains in every religion and faith. I am a Catholic and feel no different, just ashamed there was so much vile behavior in Gods house.
dkfavs Exactly, religion is outdated.
Well I did not mean that I am very religious and proud to be a Catholic!!!!!!!!
Is the intro song Trevor Morris?
@Ogilla is that reallly your last name?
i will watch although nothing will ever replace the love of my life JRM and the tudors
@kt32133 the song on the feature trailer is "Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)" by Within Temptation
@JONIMASAKIS from what tree did you fall?
I smell Emmy's.
cant wair
@brendandarcy :
No, the costumes will be other ones.
Because the story takes place in the 15th century, and not the 16th.
Also the Italian style of clothing was different from the English or French.
So I'm pretty sure they won't use (or little) costumes from The Tudors and Elizabethan movies.
will the borgias be in english? because some of the trailers i saw were in spanish...
@squamish4244 I agree. People love to see how deep a person can fall into oblivion. Villains are the most interesting characters.
why no season 4..?
Disgustingly beautiful.
Now all that's left to make is The Medicis...
@sergejisd
Rodrigo Borgia (Borja, actually) was from what was then the Kingdom of Aragon, in Spain. His more famous children, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, were born of a Roman mistress.
Ezio Auditore joined the chat
Thumbs up!
@orodriguezarrutia It's a family from spain, but most of what takes place is in Rome am i right?
The Godfather was based on Augustus and Tiberius--the first two Roman emperors.
The existing version of the Borgias is nearly perfect--all they need to do is replay that, not make something that is evidently going to try to pass off Baroque Rome as existing in the 1490s (nice to see the 18th century observatory on top of one of the locations)..
The 50,000 people who watched this should watch the full Borgias on TH-cam, the only place its available.
I'm a Borgia. Fear me
@itsibitsispiderUSMC Sorry to disappoint but quite alot of the wardrobe came from previous series of The Tudors and from other film sets so it will most likely be used again by Ardmore Studios or sold to other production companies. As for props, what can't be reused has long ago been dispatched of. I would have loved to have given a home to some of those fibreglass replica statues...
@Albagr88 there are so many talented British and American actors of Spanish and Italian heritage who deserved to star in this series.
@TheHouseofADA and judging from your super articulate reply so is english class, right? :D
No Season 4 = True Tradegy 😥
@TaliaG999 Borgia is Tom Fontana's child. Hirschbiegel is just a director, which in television means almost nothing. The writers are king on the small screen and Fontana created it. But yeah, Borgia does look pretty awesome.
@sestsa both very talented
0:19-20 is the Tudors they did the same with Margaret and Anne's neck:0
In the 0:17, 0:23, 0:25, 0:55, 1:32 second there are scenes of The Tudors opening.
OMG Jeremy Irons in The Borgias, he's a great actor, so this series will be as great as The Tudors.

Jeremy Irons~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@WinstonFisher seems like you're one of the few around here!
I hope it will be as good as The Tudors!
And they were from Valencia.
I would like to see this series aired in Italy, but the power of Vatican will not allow that.
In which episode does Ezio kill him?
@orodriguezarrutia You're misinterpreting what they said about the Godfather. Actually, in the Godfather part III, Michael Corleone exclaims " The Borgias!" in reference to the corrupt Clergy.
Wiki also says that The Borgias were Valencian (Spanish)-Italian noble family.

sweet
lol i just started to play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 2 weeks ago and then my friend tells me about this show and im like, whaaaat Borgia is the same name used in AC... odd... omg same story. LOVE
I seriously hope this is more historically accurate than Assassin's Creed.
If this is as good as The Tudors then I'll really be happy.
Wait... De Medicis were rivals of the Borgias?!
This only gets more and more interesting!
Do you know that the Borgias were real?
Lucrecia Borgia was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI, Rodrigo de Borja, from Valencia.
@BytheseaMrTodd agreed i think they shouldve kept going with edward andmary (cause the director of the tudors already has done elizabeth, cate blanchett starred in both flims)
Cant wait to see.... im sure it will be fantastic... some gore along the way will be fun...Eg tortutre/Executions.......
Can someone do a re-make of the Tv Mini Series... PETER THE GREAT......
I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed and I want to know everything about this family and about the italian renaissance. Yep, because of the game, but I'm still curious. I watched the first episode and I liked it.
This makes me wish I had enough money to pay for premium channels.
borgia based on novel of the writer of tha godfather or...?who was lucrecia?
@leefbeef dude, someone else posted that. you might wanna look at the nicknames. check the spelling and stuff of the usernames... there's a pretty big difference between drunkalice and aliaofdune if you look close enough at the letters
Cesare is the most ruthless, sexiest, most handsome man in history. :)
Jeremy Irons could be the monster that lives under my bed, offer to read Me bedtime stories and I'd thank him. 😂
@JuliaLeigh711 This show has a multi-million dollar budget. I'm sure it can afford to actually SHOOT new scenes rather than use old footage from a show set in a completely different time period. They should've waited until they actually shot footage to start promoting it.
@tiadejo Lucrecia was a very naughty daughter of pope Rodrigo Borgia, it will be interesting to see which actress will they choose for her character.
@popsita lol, i was just kidding man. I know my history fairly well, thanks =)
@yougonasorry lol so true, i'm an assassin's creed fan that's why i'm here lol
True Catholic holier than all the saints you have not already canonized Well you this omission Catholics is your icon and an example of a worthy role model
I can't hear his voice without thinking of Scar from The Lion King.

Hidden part from a popes speech: "and the lord said....I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthogs backside..."
@HConstantine No i was just stating that borgia was a bad guy in a video you may not care but someone else might
who will play ezio?!
I looked this up because of Kassem G...
