Coming Soon To
Beowulf will premiere on Saturday January 23rd at 10 PM ET/PT
Based on the legendary English poem over a thousand years old, Beowulf tells the story of a disillusioned and damaged hero. The 13-episode, one hour drama will chronicle Beowulf’s return to his home Herot, to make peace with his past. Unwittingly in search of a cause to believe in and a community to fight for, Beowulf finds himself wrongly accused of murder and hunts down the true perpetrator to avenge the death of his fellow kinsmen. Beowulf becomes Herot’s tough but unconventional hero, responsible for upholding the law and protecting the town from danger. The last of a dying breed, Beowulf is a man capable of shaping the world around him by his actions and force of will. While this may seem like a familiar tale, Beowulf unearths the full story of the complicated, driven man behind the lore.
The series stars Kieran Bew (Da Vinci’s Demons) as Beowulf
Multi-award-winning actor William Hurt (Damages) as Hrothgar
Acclaimed actress Joanne Whalley (Wolf Hall) as Rheda
Ed Speleers (Downton Abbey) as Slean
