  THOSE ABOUT TO DIE   
EPIC SERIES FIRST TRAILER RELEASED
Those About to Die series starts this July
It will stream on Peacock in USA from July 18th as this summer's biggest and most anticipated small screen premiere, so Roland Emmerich's wildly expensive and lavish new historical series THOSE ABOUT TO DIE has just got a stunning first trailer ahead of  its streaming launch on Prime Video around Europe! While the $150 million series will be epic in scope and have the spectacle of gladiators and chariot racing, it also has unexpected characters amidst palace intrigue and a dark criminal underworld. Check out the spectacular trailer below and tell us what you think!
 
  IN THE TEN EPISODE EPIC SERIES
Anthony Hopkins stars as Emperor Vaspasian during the height of the Roman Empire when the population - bored, restless, and increasingly violent - is kept in line mainly by two things: free food and spectacular entertainment, in the form of chariot racing and gladiator fights. The races at Circus Maximus are controlled by four Patrician-owned corporations, the Blue, Red, White, and Green factions, and shares in the four factions are the most valuable things in Rome. The large scale drama is set within the spectacular, complex and corrupt world of gladiatorial sports in Ancient Rome introducing diverse characters across the many layers of Roman society where sports, politics and business intersect and collide. Emperor Vespasian of Rome and head of the Flavian bloodline, is battle tested, a rural upstart who claimed his throne after victory in a bloody 10-year civil war. He is aging and is despised by the Patricians jockeying for position in the Empire and looking to supplant his heirs to the throne the first chance they get.

 Tom Hughes will play Titus Flavianus, the elder son of Vespasian and apparent heir to the Imperial throne, while Jojo Macari will be younger son Domitian.

  1. Impressive, but the trailer seems to be all about Iwan and is geared towards the Spartacus crowd.

    1. Yes, and I don't think Iwan has the charisma for the lead, I am not entirely happy with the casting in this one.

    1. This will be on Prime Video in Europe, it is on Peacock only in Northern America. This way the producers managed to cover the whole world.
