This paper presents a reading of the political trilogy House of Cards, To Play the King e The Final Cut, by Michael Dobbs, an English writer; and their adaptation by the BBC and Netflix series. I try to demonstrate how novelists, script writers and directors of series celebrate the unparalleled art of Shakespeare by reworking themes, updating contexts and rebuilding personality traits of his unforgettable characters. In short, this text aims to analyze the series and to recover some of the genetic characteristics of Shakespeare’s plays in contemporary artistic/mediatic production.
