Bell Media’s CTV Life Channel announced last week its new original docuseries Queen of the Castle will premiere Wednesday, March 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CTV Life, CTV.ca and the CTV app, and stream next day on Crave.
Produced by Blink49 Studios and Nest Productions, this eight-episode, one-hour unscripted series follows Canadian socialite Dr. Ann Kaplan Mulholland (The Real Housewives of Toronto) and her entrepreneur husband Dr. Stephen Mulholland as they undertake an ambitious modernization of their newly acquired medieval castle in Kent, England, to turn it into a luxurious world-class destination.
“Set in the quiet English town of Hythe, the arrival of Ann, a force of nature with grand plans and the business savvy to pull it off, takes the local community by storm. With her husband Stephen — a world-renowned plastic surgeon — at her side, the pair are ready to give Lympne Castle the makeover of its century-long lifetime. With a dedicated team of castle staff and tradesmen supporting the renovation, they contend with construction chaos, quirky events, discerning guests, and so much more,” reads a synopsis in a press release. “Along the way, Ann forges unexpected friendships — from elderly neighbours to the town Vicar — and what she initially saw as a business opportunity quickly evolves into something much more personal.”
In the premiere episode, “Taking the Throne,” the new owners of Lympne Castle take on their first project by tackling a renovation in the castle’s new restaurant.
