kept busy on the set of Mary & George.

“There was one day where we did about four sex scenes in one day,” Galitzine, 29, told Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, April 3. “I was going from room to room meeting strangers and saying, ‘Hi, I am Nick, nice to meet you. OK, this is the position we’re going to be in.’”

Starz’s historical drama series, Mary & George, follows the real-life story of Mary Villiers (), who urged her son George Villiers (Galitzine) to become lovers with King James I of England () in order to gain power. The seven-episode series, which premieres on Friday, April 5, is based on the book The King’s Assassin by .

“You vicariously live through this man’s sense of power,” Galitzine said. “It’s an incredibly empowering feeling. We had such a wonderful intimacy coordinator, and for the day players who came in for these singular scenes, I hope I made them feel comfortable. But I’m so proud of all that work that we did together.”

Galitzine noted that the sex scenes are “really integral to the plot and not just salacious.”
