Based on actual people and events, The Pale is the untold story of the extraordinary dynastic families who transformed an isolated, impoverished territory into one of the most vibrant economic and cultural centers of 19th century Eastern Europe; an epic historical drama combining the emotional intensity of Poldark, the cultural fascination of Shtissel and the character breadth of Deadwood and The Crown. Using the most advanced production tools the series will be created entirely digitally.
