Production and conceot
The idea for Caroline was brought up in the mid-2000s as a way to bring further viewership to the StarTV channel. Other networks, primarily BBN did historical dramas and were largely successful. Issues with funds delayed the shooting of the series until 2011 and the first season was boradcast from 2012.

The series looks at Koch's life and times from before 1475 to 1505, though the producers have taken many liberties and largely compressed many of the events.
