The Winter King season 1 preview

The upcoming historical fantasy is an adaptation of the Warlord Chronicles trilogy from Sharpe and The Last Kingdom author Bernard Cornwell, and comes from Bad Wolf, the production company behind His Dark Materials and the forthcoming series of Doctor Who.

The series, set in a warring and brutal 5th century Britain, follows Arthur Pendragon (Iain De Caestecker, Agents of SHIELD), the illegitimate son of tyrant King Uther (Eddie Marsan, Ray Donovan), as he returns from exile to rise from outcast to legend. This grittier take on the Arthurian legend promises a vain and unpopular Lancelot, Merlin (Nathaniel Martello-White, Small Axe) as a missing druid priest and a scheming, power-hungry Guinevere (Jordan Alexandra, Boiling Point).

The 10-episode series has been written for the screen by Kate Brooke (A Discovery of Witches) and Ed Whitmore (Steeltown Murders) and also stars Ellie James (Giri/Haji) as Merlin’s priestess Nimue, Valane Kane (Gangs of London) as Arthur’s half-sister Morgan and Daniel Ings (The Gold) as his close friend Owain. Read on for full details on how to watch The Winter King online, from anywhere.
