According to its press release, Carnival Row is  “fantasy-noir set in a neo-Victorian city” where “mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homeland have gathered in the city, and tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population.” Bloom will be playing a police inspector named Rycroft Philostrate, who is looking into the death of a  faerie showgirl on Carnival Row. Delevigne will be playing Vignette Stonemoss, a faerish refugee who is dealing with the human prejudice against her own kind and the secrets that have followed her to this new land.

Bloom has also signed on as a producer for the show, which already includes its eight-episode first season that Amazon ordered to series. Carnival Row is based on Travis Beacham’s script, A Killing on Carnival Row.
