The eight-episode drama stars Cara Delevingne
as a refugee fairy opposite Orlando Bloom, who plays a human
detective trying to solve a string of gruesome killings in the
area. The pair have a connection from the past.
"It's a love story. It's a noir crime thriller. It has twists
and turns," Delevingne said in an interview ahead of the show's
premiere in Hollywood on Wednesday. "It's investigating love and
human dynamics and relationships."
Bloom, who walked the black carpet at the premiere with fiance
Katy Perry, described the show's fictional setting as "a melting
pot of the best and worst of humanity."
The series was filmed in Prague on a set that Bloom said was as
detailed as some of the blockbuster movies he had worked on,
including "The Lord of the Rings" series.
The eight season-one episodes of "Carnival Row" will debut on
the Amazon Prime Video streaming service on Aug. 30. The script
is based on a story by writer Travis Beacham.
Amazon has already ordered a second season.
