NATHANIEL PARKER JOINS
'OF KINGS & PROPHETS' SERIES
As you know it was supposed to start airing this Autumn on Sunday nights at ABC, but new historical series OF KINGS AND PROPHETS has been pushed to Mid Season in order for the producers to fix all the weak spots and improve the story. That also means some recasting, so the new face to be added to the cast is Nathaniel Parker as the cagey, shrewd and lethal King Achish, the King of Philistia who has been warring with King Saul (Ray Winstone) for years. The new series is an epic Biblical saga of faith, ambition and betrayal as told through the eyes of a battle-weary king, a powerful and resentful prophet and a resourceful young shepherd on a collision course with destiny.
'FEAR THE WALKING DEAD'
GETS 1ST POSTER & CAST PHOTO
Meanwhile, first poster and cast photo have been released for THE WALKING DEAD companion series FEAR THE WALKING DEAD which should hit the small screens in more than 150 countries around the world later this summer, in August to be more precise!
Kim Dickens leads the cast of the series, as a school guidance
counsellor Madison living in Los Angeles at the beginning of the zombie
apocalypse.
She is sceptical when she hears of the spreading zombie virus, but soon
realises that she and her family are in grave danger.
Cliff Curtis plays her fiancé Travis, Frank Dillane plays her dropout
son Nick, and Alycia Debnam Carey is her responsible daughter Alicia.
The series, which, apparently, won't include as much zombies as its
older sister series, will also have Rubén Blades, Elizabeth Rodriguez
and Sandrine Holt in the cast.
Oh oh, sounds like "Of Kings and Prophets" is in trouble.
ReplyDeletelike totally! They went for some retooling, but judging from the first trailer.... the news ain't good... even I didn't like it and I'm the king of epic TV!
DeleteYay more zombie tv!
ReplyDeletethe did say the show won't be zombie centred.... I just hope that doesn't mean no suspense which is what TWD has been built upon
DeleteHum, the trailer was a little weak.
ReplyDeletethat ain't a trailer, just a short clip... there isn't a trailer yet
DeleteHow do they know they have fear of the walking dead... it hasn't happened yet ;)
ReplyDeletewho says it hasn't?
DeleteI don't know if I see that Fear The Walking Dead making it. I am sure they are hoping to draw from the original's success, reeling in their fan base, but I think it might just be overkill.
ReplyDeletepossibly, especially with the original series losing its quality and essence with the arrival of the new show runner .. the fifth season was, at moments, painfully boring and offensively disrespectful towards the original core of the show
DeleteSo I've heard! We still haven't started watching it yet. I wanted to get to it this summer. We have 3 more episodes of The Wire to finish, then the new season of Orange is the New Black is a must before anything else gets watched around here. I am thinking by August, hopefully.
DeleteI usually save my British series for summer :) Especially since they have up to ten episodes so it's always like a summer event for me :) I'm finishing POLDARK now, which is lovely and airs at PBS too on Sundays, and will then go to BANISHED and INDIAN SUMMERS. And I also watch DARK MATTER and KILLJOYS which have started at SyFy few weeks ago.
DeleteYou are a busy, busy boy Dezzy! You've got quite a list going on here!
DeleteI watch an episode in that only free hour that I have in the evening after I close the office.
DeleteI recognized Parker from Merlin as Arthur's traitor uncle
ReplyDeleteyep, he did appear in that series long time ago...
DeleteHi Dezz. Love the music videos. Both touch my heart.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible and Walking Dead? Oxymoron time?
glad you enjoyed the music! We haven't had many good songs this year :( I'm not even sure how I will make my traditional music top list of the year in December!
DeleteWhat do you MEAN walking dead companion series?
ReplyDeleteit shares the same universe as TWD :) Set in the same world, but they said there will be no crossovers when it comes to characters
DeleteZombies... Schmombies.
ReplyDeleteuntil they visit your part of the town
DeleteI will make them blue.
Deletearen't they already? OMG, are you a zombie, Blue?
