“Maybe God doesn’t speak to you, because you bore him…” Sky TV has unveiled their full official trailer for Amadeus, a new series that is basically a remake of the Oscar-winning 1984 movie of the same name. Time to revisit this story! It’s a direct adaptation of the original 1979 play by Peter Shaffer, though it looks a lot like the movie anyway. A 25-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart arrives in Vienna, Austria, during the 18th century where he meets a young singer who will become his wife (Constanze Mozart) and by way of her, the court composer Antonio Salieri. Starring Will Sharpe (seen in A Real Pain) as musical prodigy Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart, Paul Bettany as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, and Gabrielle Creevy as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife. Also with Rory Kinnear as Emperor Joseph, Lucy Cohu, Jonathan Aris, Ényì Okoronkwo, and Jessica Alexander. The series is out for streaming in the UK in December, though no details on the US debut yet. It looks even more exuberant and entertaining than the movie! I might just have to watch to see if Will Sharpe is any good as Mozart this time around. Who’s down?

Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Joe Barton’s series Amadeus, direct from Sky TV’s YouTube:

You can rewatch the teaser trailer for Joe Barton’s Amadeus series right here to view the first look again.

When 25-year-old Amadeus (Will Sharpe) arrives in bustling Vienna in the 18th Century, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber (Gabrielle Creevy), and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri (Paul Bettany). Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, this spectacular five-part reimagination explores the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers — and rockstar virtuoso of the 18th century, Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart. Amadeus is a mini-series created and written by screenwriter Joe Barton (of The Ritual, My Days of Mercy, Encounter, The Union, “The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself”, “The Lazarus Project”, “Black Doves”). It’s also co-created by Julian Farino. Based on the original Amadeus play by Peter Shaffer first performed in 1979. With episodes directed by Julian Farino and Alice Seabright. Produced by Sky Studios. Executive produced by Paul Gilbert, Megan Spanjian, Michael Jackson, Will Sharpe, Julian Farino, Stephen Wright. Sky will debut their new Amadeus series streaming on Sky TV starting December 21st, 2025 at the end of this year. Still no US date set. Who’s ready to watch?
