The Winter King
Synopsis
Based on Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles, THE WINTER KING is an epic but intimate 10 part returning series set in the 5th century, long before Britain was united, in a land of warring factions and tribes, when the world was brutal and lives were often fleeting.
Portraying a revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legends, the series follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast son to legendary warrior and leader.
The series filmed in Wales and the West Country in 2022, and was produced by Bad Wolf, in association with One Big Picture, with international distribution handled by Sony Pictures Television.
Kate Brooke (A Discovery Of Witches, Bancroft) and Ed Whitmore (Manhunt, Rillington Place) adapted Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles for the series and Otto Bathurst (His Dark Materials, Halo) was the lead director.
