If you want to see more of the world of King Arthur in The Winter King, Episode 8 will release October 22, and if you're curious about the rest we got the release schedule down below!
If we're talking legendary tales, there's few that can match the heroic magic of the legend of King Arthur. There have been a couple of TV adaptations, but The Winter King, brings something new to the table that keeps fans longing for more. Episode 8 will release on October 22, but what about the rest?
The Winter King is a British historical fiction drama that strips the story of Arthur Pendragon off its magical elements, allowing its characters and story to shine by not leaning too much on its fantasy aspects.
The show is based on the three-part book series by Bernard Cornwell and rewinds time to the Dark Age of Britain, showing how heroic an "utterly human" Arthur Pendragon can be.
| The description for the book reads as follows: The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant. |
