The Pillars Of The Earth Preview: Hour Five - Mad Maud

If you’re caught up on Starz’s Pillars of the Earth miniseries then you’re at the half-way point as Starz is set to air the fifth hour in the eight-hour series tomorrow night. Details and the trailer ahead!

Moderate spoiler warning. Having seen the episode already, I will say that the video shows one of my favorite Maud-moments in the series within the first few seconds. It’s brief but I think its Allison Pill at her absolute best in this series. I’ll give you a hint as to its content: She’s very cranky. With that said, watch if you want to see it now or wait until tomorrow night and see the full scene during the episode.

Below is Starz’s episode description for Hour 5 (“Legacy”) and further down is the trailer.

“Waleran and Regan engineer the prisoner exchange so that they remain on the winning side of the war. Tom wants Jack and Alfred to be friends, but their rivalry over their work lives and Aliena is too intense. Meanwhile, William decides to attack Kingsbridge as a way to stop the fleece fair and Aliena’s success. The Hamleighs and Prior Philip are granted rights to Shiring land, but it comes with a price.”

The Pillars of the Earth airs Friday at 10:00 p.m. ET on Starz.
