Starz Airing New ‘Camelot’ Series
King Arthur is returning to TV as Camelot will debut on Starz on April 1st at 10pm. The series is planned for a 10-episode season, and features Jamie Campbell Bower as Arthur, Joseph Fiennes as Merlin, Eva Green as the sorceress Morgan, Tamsin Egerton as Guinevere, Claire Forlani as Igraine and Peter Mooney as Kay.
Here is the official description of the show.
In the wake of King Uther’s sudden death, chaos threatens to engulf Britain. When the sorcerer Merlin has visions of a dark future, he installs the young and impetuous Arthur, Uther’s unknown son and heir, who has been raised from birth as a commoner. But Arthur’s cold and ambitious half-sister Morgan will fight him to the bitter end, summoning unnatural forces to claim the crown in this epic battle for control. These are dark times indeed for the new King, with Guinevere being the only shining light in Arthur’s harsh world. Faced with profound moral decisions, and the challenge of uniting a kingdom broken by war and steeped in deception, Arthur will be tested beyond imagination. Forget everything you think you know … this is the story of Camelot that has never been told before.
I can’t wait for this to start! It should be amazing!
I’m interested to see how they do it. I personally didn’t think Spartacus was that good. Party Down on the other hand… was one of the best shows Starz has ever had… and they canned it.
