The new drama Of Kings and Prophets will debut on ABC on March 8 at 10 PM.
One thousand years before Christ, the first king of the Israelites, Saul, struggles to unify the 12 Israelite tribes and defend his fledgling nation against savage enemy attacks. The prophet Samuel relays a message from God to King Saul that he must destroy one of Israel’s ancient enemies. But when Saul defies that message, Samuel prophesies that the Lord will tear the kingdom of Israel from him and choose another in his place. In time, Saul comes to realize that his greatest threat will not come from his enemies, but from the shepherd, David.
The series stars Ray Winstone (The Departed), relative newcomer Olly Rix, Simone Kessell (Terra Nova), Jeanine Mason (Bunheads), Haaz Sleiman (Killing Jesus and Covert Affairs), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (The Originals) and Nathaniel Parker (Merlin) [among others].
