'Mad Men' creator Matthew Weiner set for 'The Romanoffs' release

The title of the series refers to the Romanov clan and the series is divided into different stories of people who believe that they are the descendants of the Russian royal family.

Matthew Weiner, the creator of period hit drama series 'Mad Men', is writing, producing and directing the upcoming anthology television series 'The Romanoffs' which is set to release on Amazon Video on October 12. Matthew calls this experience as a "super stimulating" one in an interview with BANG Showbiz. The title of the series refers to the Romanov clan, one of the main driving forces in Russian history until the Russian civil war, when the dethroned czar and his family were killed by Bolsheviks in 1918. The series is divided into different stories of people who believe that they are the descendants of the Russian royal family.
