Continuing our period set projects  weekend, check out the first teaser trailer for ITV's new epic fantasy series BEOWULF: RETURN TO THE SHIELD- LANDS which should air some time early next year in thirteen episodes starring DA VINCI'S DEMONS' Kieran Bew in the lead role!

KIERAN BEW & ED SPELEERS
BEOWULF is a series about courage, greed, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, power, man versus wilderness and, of course love. It is a series that explores the notion of good and evil, heroes and villains. However, beyond these wider political undercurrents and inner personal turmoils are the excitement, danger and sense of adventure that any great Western has. Epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles are an essential part of the promise. The cast also includes William Hurt, Joanne Whalley, David Harewood, Elliott Cowan, Joe Sims, David Bradley, Emmett Scanlan and others.
