Jeremy Irons made his debut as Abbé Faria in The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 2 on PBS, which aired on Sunday, March 29. He starred opposite Sam Claflin, who plays Edmond Dantes in the Masterpiece adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s classic. The PBS limited series was a faithful adaptation of the novel in the first episode, which ended with Edmond’s wrongful arrest and imprisonment in the Castle d’If. Episode 2 spanned 15 years, depicting Edmond’s entire jail time and his relationship with Abbé. Will Irons be back in future episodes? Warning: Spoilers for The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 2 ahead.
Episode 2 is titled “The Castle.” In it, Edmond loses hope in prison, but then he meets Abbé Faria, a priest who has long attempted to escape. As time passes and their bond deepens, Faria reveals to Edmond the location of a legendary treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo.
