Introducing the show, writers and executive producersKate Brooke and Ed Whitmore said: “I would say in a nutshell that The Winter King is a retelling of the Arthurian legend. It’s based on the brilliant novels by Bernard Cornwell and the great achievement of those novels is that he reimagines these iconic characters; Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot, and so on, and he brings them to vivid life.”
How to watch The Winter King
The Winter King will drop on ITV’s streaming service ITVX on Thursday, December 21. There are 10 episodes in total and the full series will be able to watch.
What is The Winter King about?
The new series, which is based on Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles, is a bold and revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legends. Explaining the show, director, and executive producer Otto Bathurst said: “I think the Arthur story gets put through rose-tinted spectacles and gets Hollywood-ised and mythologised and can end up being heightened to a degree where we’ve had fantasy versions of the King Arthur story. The Winter King is a more grounded, much more visceral, raw version of the King Arthur story.
“My ultimate ambition is for people to watch this and go ‘oh, so that was the real Arthur story. What we’re doing is going back to the roots and telling the true version of the Arthur story. And giving a much more authentic, believable, accessible and raw version of the story.”
