The six-part series aired in the UK back in January, receiving positive reviews.

Keren Shahar, distributor for The Trial of Christine Keeler, commented: “We are thrilled to have found this stunning series a home in the US on HBO Max.

“By retelling this scandal from Christine’s perspective for the first time, this captivating period piece feels relevant, contemporary and so very HBO Max, despite depicting real-life events from nearly six decades ago.”

James Norton’s new period drama movie Mr Jones recently had a digital release after its cinema release was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Jones is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
