'The Widow' Season 1 preview: Kate Beckinsale nails her TV return as Amazon banks on A-listers

Julia Roberts aced her television score with Amazon's 'Homecoming,' now it's Kate Beckinsale's time to mark her television return with 'The Widow'

Julia Roberts' 'Homecoming,' heralded a trend of beckoning A-list actresses to TV screens and here comes Kate Beckinsale with the upcoming Amazon Prime Videos original 'The Widow.' Fans have already signed up for the series simply because it features the award-winning actress, but the show is much more than that.

Rendering one of her best performances to date, Beckinsale plays 'the widow,' whose husband of over ten years goes MIA after visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo for a work-related purpose. Shuffling between flashbacks and present day, the story interweaves over a three-year gap, and it features more action than anticipated. A quick look at the trailer, guarantees an explosive and action-packed watch, but the return of the 45-year-old actress to the small screen is what makes the show all the more interesting.
