Synopsis

In 1788, aging King George III of England begins to show signs of mental illness, a condition poorly understood at the time. As the monarch experiences episodes of confusion and violent temper outbursts, his doctors attempt various ineffective treatments of the era. At the same time, Queen Charlotte and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger work to prevent the king's political adversaries, led by the Prince of Wales, from seizing control of the throne.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
