LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kate Winslet sheds light on her experience of filming with Hugh Grant after a huge break of 29 years.

At the New York City premiere of Winslet and Grant's HBO series 'The Regime', the 48-year-old actress spoke to Entertainment Tonight about working with her co-star after nearly three decades since their work in the 1995 film 'Sense and Sensibility.'

Kate Winslet says working with Hugh Grant 'was honestly amazing'

Speaking to the outlet about her experience of working on 'The Regime' with Grant, Winslet said, "It was honestly amazing because I haven't really seen him since Sense and Sensibility, and as you say, it's a very, very long time -- three decades."

"I just was excited to get in a room and play with him in this kind of more grown-up version of myself," she added.

In the film 'Sense and Sensibility', Winslet portrayed the role of Marianne Dashwood who was the younger sister of Elinor Dashwood, a character played by Emma Thompson, while Grant portrayed Edward Ferrars, Elinor's love interest.

Kate Winslet says 'The Regime' is a 'terrific' project

Winslet further compared 'The Regime' to 'Sense and Sensibility', she said, "Hopefully a bit more evolved, hopefully with a bit more to bring to the table."

"And I -- it was just terrific, it was just great,” the actress added.

The 'Titanic' actress attended 'The Regime' premiere wearing a white blazer on top of a low-cut top along with black dress pants and pumps.

What is 'The Regime' all about?

'The Regime' which is set to stream on Max following its premiere on March 3 is a six-episode series.

“Well, first of all, that it was a comedy - that it was a dark, satirical comedy and it’s also my kind of humor, I have to say," said Winslet, according to Forbes.

"And also, when you get to see actors not taking themselves too seriously because of what they have to go through in order to play those roles, I’m there. I absolutely love it," she continued.

As per synopsis, the series "tells the story of life within the walls of a modern authoritarian regime as it unravels."

"After not leaving the palace for quite some time, Chancellor Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) becomes increasingly paranoid and unstable and turns to a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts), as an unlikely confidant," the synopsis stated.

"As Zubak's influence over the chancellor grows, Elena's attempts to expand her power eventually result in the palace and the country fracturing around her," the synopsis added.

The limited series stars Winslet, Grant, Matthias Schoenaerts, Guillaume Gallienne, Andrea Riseborough, and Martha Plimpton.
