Black magic, Russian royalty, resistance to stabbing, rumors of a giant wiener: It’s kind of shocking it took this long for someone to make a TV drama about Grigori Rasputin.

Leo DiCaprio is also currently working on a Rasputin biopic, which means we’re already excited about complaining how the Rasputin trend just won’t die.
