## Plot

Season 1 of *Jamestown* focus on a group of women, known as "maids to make wives", destined to wed the men of Jamestown and travelling to Virginia in 1619, twelve years after the men have founded the colony. These women arrive from England duty bound to marry the men that have paid for their passage. Among the women are Alice, Verity, and Jocelyn, who arrive with little idea of what the future holds or the disruption they are about to bring to the settlement. The new governor, Sir George Yeardley, and his wife also arrive and discover that running the settlement is not without problems with a company secretary, the marshal and a vicious land owner trying to undermine his position.
