The Winter King Clip Reveals A Young, Near-Death King Arthur [EXCLUSIVE]

The Winter King premieres August 20th.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Winter King is a new take on classic Arthurian legend. The series is based on the Warlord Chronicles book line by Bernard Cornwell—also the author behind The Last Kingdom—and debuts August 20th on MGM+. It offers a new take on the life of Arthur Pendragon, exploring his early years and imagining him as an outcast who then finds his way into becoming the king of myth and legend.

The Winter King’s cast includes Iain De Caestecker, who is known for playing one of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s best characters, as King Arthur and Daniel Ings as Owain. Screen Rant is excited to premiere a clip from the first episode of The Winter King which sees Arthur and Owain having a discussion that seemingly points to the overall goal of the season.

As Arthur is known as the one who brought all of Britain together, it makes sense that the backdrop of The Winter King is war. As seen in the clip above, Britain is not yet united in The Winter King, and warring tribes and factions made the island a dangerous place to live. In this grittier telling of a classic legend, it will be exciting to see how Brooke, Whitmore, and the rest of the creative team handle Arthur’s rise to power and iconic elements of the story like Excalibur and Camelot.
