Premiering in 2024, A Gentleman in Moscow Season 1 centers on Count Alexander Rostov, who narrowly escapes execution but is confined to the Metropol Hotel by the Soviet regime. Stripped of wealth and status, Rostov adapts to his restricted life, forming deep relationships with hotel staff, guests, and a young girl who becomes like family to him. As political upheaval reshapes Russia over several decades, Rostov observes history from within the hotel’s walls while quietly influencing lives around him. The season balances personal drama with historical context, highlighting how purpose, kindness, and intelligence allow one man to maintain freedom of spirit even in captivity.
