Snow White and the Hunter

A Tale Retold in Shadow and Steel

Snow White (played by Florence Pugh) returns not as a passive princess, but as the reluctant heir to a shattered kingdom. When a corrupt regent seizes control using ancient magic, she escapes into the wild—only to discover hidden ties to an old warrior clan known as the Huntsguard.

She’s trained by the legendary Hunter Wyatt (Richard Madden), a veteran tracker with a tragic past. Together, they must unite seven outlaw clans and infiltrate a fortress to dethrone the false queen, but they face a curse stronger than steel: the queen’s magic, which turns innocence into obsession.
