Antonis and Cleopatra premieres on SKAI with intense drama

The new SKAI daily drama series, ‘Antonis and Cleopatra’, premiered on Monday, September 21, sparking significant discussion on social media platforms like X. The production, created by Andreas Georgiou, Koullis Nikolaou, and Vana Dimitriou, focuses on the lives of two successful lawyers, Antonis Moraitis (played by Marios Mariolos) and Cleopatra Moraitis (played by Eirini Tassou). Although they share a surname, they are not related.

Antonios is depicted as a meticulous lawyer who values order and avoids marriage, while Cleopatra is characterized as a dynamic and career-oriented professional. Despite an initial mutual attraction, their differing perspectives lead to a professional rivalry as they often find themselves on opposing sides in court.

The series opens with a heavy storyline involving an abuse case. A central character, Anneta (played by Katerina Geronikou), finds the courage to report her husband for systematic abuse, a development that sets a serious tone for the unfolding legal battles and personal conflicts within the show.
