The new series “Amadeus” has announced that Paul Bettany will play the role of Antonio Salieri.

Bettany will join Will Sharpe, who will play Mozart in the series which will tell the story of the famed Austrian composer.

According to Variety, the limited series will be created by Joe Barton and Julian Farino and is reimagined from Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play.

In a press release the production said, “Barton’s adaptation will expand and interrogate the mythic rivalry of the two composers. Hero of his own story but villain to history, Salieri’s envy turns vengeful as he uses any means necessary to thwart Mozart and protect his position in the establishment.”

Production is set to start in Hungary this spring.
