The Mary & George true story reveals just how little the Starz show had to change to create a shocking and scandal-filled narrative that made the series such a hit. The 2024 drama draws from the 2017 book The Kings Assassin by Benjamin Woolley. Despite the many jaw-dropping moments in Mary & George, The Kings Assassin isnt a work of fiction. Its a carefully researched historical analysis of the lives (and deaths) of the real Mary and George Villiers, the Countess and Duke of Buckingham in 17th-century England.
