1ST IMAGES FROM NEW HISTORICAL SERIES CHIEF OF WAR WITH JASON MOMOA, A THOUSAND BLOWS WITH STEPHEN GRAHAM, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW WITH EWAN MCGREGOR, DECAMERON, LIONS OF SICILY

 NEW HISTORICAL SERIES 

CHIEF OF WAR

This one has started shooting last November at Hawaii before moving in February to New Zealand where the series had been shooting till June for Apple TV Plus! Jason Momoa leads the cast of the series set in the late 18th Century when the four major kingdoms of Hawaii were constantly in a state of war. Legendary warrior Kaʻiana is pulled into battle when Seers and visions name him as the one who will fulfill an Ancient Prophecy that will bring peace to all of Hawaii.

A THOUSAND BLOWS

We also have two set photos showing Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty at the sets of A THOUSAND BLOWS mini series which follows the fortunes of Hezekiah and Alec, two best friends newly arrived from Jamaica. Fighting for survival in the violent melting pot of Victorian London's East End, they come up against Sugar Goodson, a dangerous, veteran boxer, played by Stephen Graham. Warrior's Jason Tobin also stars in the twelve episode 19th century Disney Plus series.

A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW

Ewan McGregor is also looking dashing and swell in full costume for his new historical series A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW from Showtime and

Ewan McGregor as count Rostov

Paramount+ based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Amor Towles. He stars as Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery. The series also stars Ewan's love partner Mary Elisabeth Winstead and our dear John Heffernan! I hear the shooting that started back in February was almost over when it was suspended this month due to the actors' strike. 

THE DECAMERON

I was not sure whether to even include this one or not, as the cast seems beyond atrocious for a historical series and plus it is being done for Netflix, but you can check out first set images from their new eight episode series adaptation of the famous THE DECAMERON! In 1348, as the Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence. A handful of nobles are invited to retreat with their servants to a grand villa in the Italian countryside and wait out the pestilence with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp in the hills of Tuscany descends into an all out scramble for survival.

THE LIONS OF SICILY

Another Italy set series to expect is the adaptation of beloved historical saga THE LIONS OF SICILY over at Disney Plus. It follows the Florio family where brothers Paolo (Vinicio Marchioni) and Ignazio (Eduardo Scarpetta) are two small spice merchants who have escaped from a Calabria stuck in the past and in search of social redemption. In Sicily they invent a future, turning a small, run-down shop into a flourish business activity that young Vincenzo, with his revolutionary ideas, will transform into an economic empire. However, overwhelming Vincenzo's life and that of the entire family is the disruptive arrival of Giulia (Miriam Leone), a strong and intelligent woman who is in contrast with the rigid rules of the society of the time.

NEW INSPECTOR REBUS

Dicky Rankin is a hot new inspector Rebus

You already know that Nordic streamer Viaplay is planning a world expansion and it is already available in UK and some other European countries, and now they have added another English language series to their slate: Richard Rankin will play inspector REBUS in their new English original. The story follows 40-year-old Inspector John Rebus at a psychological crossroads following an altercation with an infamous Edinburgh gangster. At odds with a job increasingly driven by technocrats, involved in a toxic affair he knows he needs to end, and all but supplanted in his daughter’s life by his ex-wife’s wealthy new husband, Rebus begins to wonder if he still has a role to play – either as a family man or a police officer. Ian Rankin, no relation with Richard himself, wrote more than 20 novels about inspector Rebus.
