How to watch Domina Season 1, Episode 2 tonight on EPIX
By Mads Lennon
Last week, the new EPIX and Sky Atlantic historical drama Domina Season 1 premiered on the premium cable service. The first episode introduced us to the character of Livia Drusilla, a fictional interpretation of a real historical figure.
The first episode shows what happens when Livia and her family lose everything in the outbreak of the Civil War, sending her and her family into exile. By the end of the first episode, Livia is an outcast and loses her birthright. She, Nero, Tiberius, Antigone and a few of their guards are forced to weather the wilds as they find a place to take refuge and avoid being killed thanks to the price on their heads.
A lot happened in the Domina Season 1 premiere as the sweeping historical saga moved quickly to introduce us to the many players, including Gaius Caesar, and the tricky era that began right after the killing of Julius Caesar.
Tonight, Domina Season 1, Episode 2, “Rise,” will premiere at 10:00 p.m. ET on EPIX or you can watch the episode now via the EPIX app.
What’s happening in Domina Season 1, Episode 2?
Things improve for Livia in the second episode of the show as a treaty is forged between Gaius and Sextus that grants her and her family amnesty. From there, Livia can start working to reclaim her birthright. But the first order of business for Livia will be finding Antigone.
If you recall from the end of the premiere, the two women got separated after being attacked at their camp and the last thing we see is Livia desperately calling out for Antigone in the forest.
And while the amnesty means Livia can return home, on the downside, she also finds out that she’s pregnant with her second child with Nero, something she’s definitely not enthused about.
Read the official synopsis for the episode below:
"When an amnesty is declared, Livia is able to return to her home in Rome. On her return to the capital a now pregnant Livia aims to both rebuild her family fortune and save her friend."
New episodes of Domina air Sunday nights on EPIX.
