The Count of Monte Cristo

Edmond wraps up his yearslong campaign of vengeance, embarrassing and ruining both Danglars and Villefort.

As Edmond's plans to ruin Fernand come to fruition, Albert tries to defend his father's honor. Secrets are revealed. 

As Edmond works to derail the advantageous marriage plans of his enemies for their children, Villefort continues to investigate Edmond. 

Edmond begins inserting himself into the lives of his enemies, laying plans to ruin them and their families in Paris. 

Edmond contrives a meeting with Mercédès and Fernand's son, indebting the young man to him. He then uses the boy to introduce him to his enemies in Paris. 

Having escaped from prison, Edmond uses the Abbé Faria's map to find treasure and then turns it towards seeking revenge. 

After years of unjust imprisonment, Edmond meets the sole other prisoner and begins learning from him while they also tunnel to freedom. 

On the eve of his marriage to Mercédès, Edmond is arrested and sent to a notorious prison without trial, the result of a scheme against him by his enemies. 

A new Masterpiece adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic nineteenth-century novel The Count of Monte Cristo is coming to WTTW and PBS next March. 

The Great Escaper tells the story of a 90-year-old veteran's escape from his nursing home to attend D-Day commemorations, while a new adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo comes from an Oscar-nominated director.
