The Great is a British-American comedy "anti-historical" (as it is described by the releaser) TV series about the Russian Empress Catherine the Great. The series stars Elle Fanning as Empress Catherine II and Nicholas Hoult as Emperor Peter III.
Season 1 was released on Hulu streaming platform on May 15, 2020, and Season 2 on November 19, 2021. In January 2022, the third season was announced.
The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series The Great:
Pistols
A large number of various Flintlock Pistols are used throuthout the series. In most cases the exact model can be identified. Of course, the screen guns are modern replicas.
British Heavy Dragoon Flintlock Pistol
Peter III (Nicholas Hoult) holds a pair of British Heavy Dragoon Flintlock Pistols during the rabbit hunt in "The Great" (S01E01).
British Light Dragoon Flintlock Pistol
General Velementov (Douglas Hodge) holds a British Light Dragoon Flintlock Pistol during Catherine's coup in "The Beaver's Nose" (S01E10).
British Tower Sea Service Pistol
Peter III and King Hugo of Sweden (Freddie Fox) hold Tower Sea Service Pistols in "Meatballs at the Dasha" (S01E08). Peter also holds a Sea Service pistol in "The Beaver's Nose" (S01E10). Emperor's bodyguard Tartar Nick (Christophe Tek) carries a Sea Service pistol in "Love Hurts" (S01E09).
Prussian Dragoon 1731 Flintlock Pistol
Count Arkady (Bayo Gbadamosi) shows several long flintlock pistol to Peter III in "The Great" (S01E01). He explains that the sights of such pistols allow to hit the target as far as 50 meters (nearly twice in comparison with common flintlock pistols of 18th - early 19th centuries). Judging by the length and details of these pistols, they are probably Prussian Dragoon 1731 model.
French Charleville Model 1777 Cavalry Officer Flintlock Pistol
Count Alexei Rostov (Abraham Popoola) is armed with a Charleville Model 1777 Cavalry Officer Flintlock Pistol in "Love Hurts" (S01E09).
French Model An IX Cavalry Flintlock Pistol
Count Orlo (Sacha Dhawan) is armed with a French Model An IX Cavalry Flintlock Pistol in "The Beaver's Nose" (S01E10).
Flintlock Pistol
More Flintlock Pistols of unclear models are used.
Long Guns
Flintlock Blunderbuss
Peter III (Nicholas Hoult) holds a flintlock Blunderbuss in "A Pox on Hope" (S01E07).
Charleville Flintlock Musket
Russian soldiers are armed with French Charleville Muskets. This isn't entirely wrong as the design of Russian Army muskets in 18th century was mostly based on French patterns. Several different versions of Charleville Musket are seen.
