The sixth episode of the limited series “A Gentleman in Moscow” takes us once again into Count Alexander Rostov’s life, as an unexpected arrival turns his world upside down, leading him to reflect on his past and make a daring decision.
“A Gentleman in Moscow” is based on the bestselling 2016 novel of the same name by Amor Towles. The series premiered in March 2024 on Showtime in the US and Paramount+ internationally, captivating audiences with its captivating storytelling and enchanting characters.
In the upcoming episode, titled “The Fall,” Count Rostov, played by Ewan McGregor, finds his world turned upside down when an unexpected arrival is placed in his care. As he struggles to adjust to his new responsibilities, he receives devastating news that forces him to confront his past.
The episode explores the complexities of the Count’s circumstances as he navigates life under house arrest in Moscow’s grand Hotel Metropol during the tumultuous years of the Soviet regime. With his aristocratic privileges stripped away, the Count discovers the true value of human connection, courage, and community.
One of the Count’s closest friends, Mishka, visits him at the hotel. Mishka, played by Fehinti Balogun, is a gifted poet and supporter of the Bolshevik Party. Their friendship dates back to their university days, and Mishka’s radical political views often clash with the Count’s aristocratic background.
The episode also sees the return of Anna Urbanova, portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, a celebrated actress with whom the Count shares a passionate affair.
