Catherine finds an unexpected friend in her maid, Marial. When Catherine discovers that women are not educated in Russia, she succeeds in securing funds with the permission of Peter to establish a school. But Peter burns the school soon after he learns that the school was meant for girls. When Peter shoots the bear he gave to Catherine during a ball, she slaps him in front of everyone. Peter punches her in seclusion and warns her. Catherine, now being nothing more than a prisoner, decides to evade the castle with the help of Marial, but the plan fails as Peter finds out. Disheartened, Catherine is about to slit her wrist when Marial informs her about a law in Russia: if an emperor dies without an heir, the throne will ultimately be given to the empress.

Production
Development
The series is based upon Tony McNamara's play revolving around Catherine the Great, which premiered at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008.[8] McNamara also wrote a film adaption of the play, "It had been a play and a film, and I was always struggling with the fact it was such a massive story for a film. I wanted to tell it as a story that goes for years and years."[9][10] The series was initially pitched as having six seasons, having planned to introduce key historical figures in Catherine's life as the series continued.[11]
On August 24, 2018, it was announced that Hulu was close to giving a pilot order to a miniseries about Catherine the Great. The series was written by Tony McNamara who also served as an executive producer alongside Elle Fanning and Marian Macgowan. Production companies involved with the pilot consist of Media Rights Capital, Echo Lake Entertainment, and Thruline Entertainment.[12] On November 20, 2018, it was reported that Matt Shakman was directing the pilot.[13] On February 11, 2019, it was announced during the Television Critics Association's annual winter press tour that Hulu had given the production a series order.[14]
Casting
Alongside the initial pilot announcement, it was confirmed that Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult had been cast in the pilot's lead roles as Catherine the Great and her husband Peter III of Russia, respectively. In November 2018, it was announced that Phoebe Fox, Sacha Dhawan, Charity Wakefield, and Gwilym Lee had joined the cast of the pilot.[13][15][16] In January 2020, Sebastian De Souza, Adam Godley, and Douglas Hodge were added to the cast.[17] On May 14, 2021, Gillian Anderson was cast in a guest starring role as Johanna, Catherine's mother.[18]
Filming
Principal photography for the pilot episode had commenced by November 2018 in York, England with other filming locations expected to include Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Hever in Kent. The main filming locations were Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire and the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy.[15][19][20][21][22][23] The loggia on the lake at Hever Castle doubled as the location for a Russo-Swedish peace conference. The fields of the St Clere Estate near Sevenoaks in Kent were used to stage battle scenes in episodes five and seven.[24] Filming for season two began on November 4, 2020[25] and ended on July 17, 2021.

Historical accuracy
Hulu has described The Great as "anti-historical" and the series' title sequences declare it to be an "occasionally true story".[1] According to Los Angeles Times critic Robert Lloyd, "McNamara had jotted down some names, relationships and a few historical bullet points, torn up the paper, and started writing. And so must the viewer abandon himself to what's on the plate without a care to learning anything useful or even true about Russia or any of the real people represented here."[32]
