Rueben's Ramblings

This 10-part period piece drama The Winter King will debut on MGM+ (formerly EPIX) at 9 PM on August 20.

This bold, revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legend, and based on the Warlord Chronicles series from Bernard Cornwell, the series is set in the 5th Century long before Britain was united. It’s a brutal land of warring factions and tribes where lives were often fleeting and follows Arthur Pendragon (Iain De Caestecker from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as he evolves from outcast to legendary warrior and leader.

The series also stars Eddie Marsan, Andrew Gower and Simon Merrells (among others).
