Also in our chat, Davis explains how much work it is to mount a production of this size in which most of the sets are constructed specifically for the show. “When you don’t have a show with standing sets, which are sets you can constantly go back to, it’s very tough on the production.

Others on the red carpet included stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, costume designer Terry Dresbach, production designer Jon Gary Steele and fellow executive producer Moore. The private event featured a special exhibit preview of the extravagant costumes and set designs, a cocktail reception, unveiling, and panel discussion.
