Amadeus
Starz has acquired the U.S. rights to Sky's five-part series 'Amadeus,' which stars Will Sharpe as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Paul Bettany as Antonio Salieri. The drama, based on Peter Shaffer's 1979 play, explores the composers' rivalry and premiered in the U.K. on December 21. It is set to debut on Starz later this year.

A new six-part TV drama about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has drawn sharp criticism in The Guardian for failing to match the depth of its source material. Starring Will Sharpe as Mozart and Paul Bettany as rival composer Antonio Salieri, the series reworks Peter Shaffer's 1979 play and the 1984 film but delivers a flat and banal narrative. Critics argue it reduces profound themes to petty versions.
