EXCLUSIVE: New cast have been added for the second season of MGM+ and Sky 's ancient Rome drama Domina , with David Avery ( The Night Manager ), Benjamin Issac ( Holmes & Watson ) and Joelle ( Dune ) now aboard.
The show takes places during a volatile period in Roman history and follows the rise of Gaius/Emperor Augustus Caesar's third wife, Livia Drusilla, who is played by Kasia Smutniak. The second season will chronicle the struggle for control of the Roman Empire and Rome's Imperial family from a female perspective.

New series regular Avery will play ambitious young aristocrat Domitius, joins Gaius' family through marriage and proves himself to be a thorn in Livia's side.
