‘The Count of Monte Cristo’: Will Jeremy Irons Be Back as Abbé Faria?
Episode 2 covers Edmond Dantès's 15-year imprisonment and his bond with Abbé Faria, who reveals the Monte Cristo treasure location before his death.
- On Sunday, Jeremy Irons debuted as Abbé Faria in The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 2 on PBS, starring opposite Sam Claflin as Edmond Dantes in the Masterpiece adaptation.
- Before meeting Faria, Edmond Dantes spent 10 years in near-complete isolation at The Castle, unsuccessfully arguing that Napoleon's return to France should end his treason conviction.
- Abbé and Edmond spent five years meeting in secret, during which the priest taught his student everything he knew, eventually revealing the location of a legendary treasure hidden on Monte Cristo.
- Following Abbé's death from injuries, Edmond escaped by taking his friend's place in a body bag, then reached the shore of Marseilles after being thrown into the sea.
- The hunt for the treasure continues in Episode 3, which viewers can stream on PBS Passport or watch weekly on Sundays as new episodes air.
