'KNIGHTFALL' EPIC SERIES

CASTS ITS KNIGHTS AND QUEENS

Now, here's a new historical project for us to look forward to! History has announced the cast for their ambitious ten episode epic saga KNIGHT FALL produced by Jeremy Renner who will guest star as well. Robin Hood's Dominic Minghella will be the showrunner.

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
were the most powerful, wealthy and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages, entrusted with protecting the Holy Grail and harbouring secrets capable of destroying the Church itself. KNIGHTFALL goes deep into the inner sanctum of the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks. From their battles in the Holy Land, to their clashes with both the King of France and Pope Boniface VIII, to the betrayal that would ultimately lead to their tragic dissolution on Friday the 13th (a date which became synonymous with bad luck) the story of the Knights Templar has never been fully told until now. KNIGHTFALL takes you inside the world to find out who these knights were, how they lived, and what they died believing.

TOM CULLEN LEADS THE CAST

The lead role went to Tom Cullen (World Without End, Downton Abbey) who stars as Landry, a veteran warrior of the Crusades, who becomes the leader of the Templars and serves as the driving force behind their quest to retrieve Christianity’s most prized relic: The Holy Grail.
