Overview

Coming January 20, 2026 Rich with betrayal, desire, and divine intrigue, this origin story of Greek mythology told from the point of view of its chief villain weaves gods, nymphs, dragons, sex, lies, and strategy into a fierce new legend. Hera: Kingdom of Lies combines the social and political maneuvers of Scandal with the mythic, villain redemption of Circe. Here's what it's about: Before the gods became. Before humankind was imagined. Before Olympus was more than mist on a desolate mountain - Hera reigned. When the war hero, Zeus, takes power and moves Hera's statues aside to make room for his own, the queen of heaven must find her place in a new order. At first, drawn in by Zeus' charm, she quickly realizes she wants no part of life with this petty, egocentric dictator. When she refuses to marry him, what began as seduction becomes a snare. Trapped into marriage, Hera learns that power can still be forged through cunning, seduction, and unexpected alliances. But after she gives birth to the God of War, her influence begins to crumble - and his lust threatens to tear the kingdom apart. Who is the Goddess of Marriage, if she's bound to a husband who defiles every vow? Who is the Goddess of Motherhood, if she's raising a child, the world misunderstands? What kind of goddess is she willing to become to protect her people and her child? Discover for yourself January 20, 2026.
