King & Jester

2023 · 1 season

A brooding, music-soaked blend of real-life band drama and dark fairy-tale horror that feels haunting and emotionally raw.

Created by
Rustam Mosafir
Genres
Drama, Sci-fi & fantasy
Overview
A fantasy drama infused with music and horror fables based on the real story of the 'King and Jester', a cult Russian punk-rock band, enormously popular in the 1990-2000s. The show goes along the band's rocky road to success and tells the story of its polarizing-natured frontman Michael Gorshenev and his tragic death in 2013. Tricksters, evil spirits, noblemen, and other characters of the 'King and Jester' song verse make their way into the lives of Gorshenev and his bandmates.
