Daily Wire Unveils Trailer for Epic Fantasy Series 'The Pendragon Cycle'
The Daily Wire has unveiled a captivating trailer for its highly anticipated live-action scripted series, 'The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin'. This fantasy drama, based on the captivating novels by Stephen R. Lawhead, is set to premiere on January 22nd on DailyWire+, the conservative media outlet's streaming platform.
The series, created and executive produced by Jeremy Boreing, Daily Wire's co-founder, offers a unique twist on Arthurian legend. It's set in a Roman-dominated land that will eventually become Britain during the fourth through sixth centuries. This historical backdrop adds depth to the story, blending ancient mythology with a realistic portrayal of a tumultuous era.
Boreing's vision for 'The Pendragon Cycle' is bold and ambitious. In his own words, he describes it as 'the culmination of a 10-year journey to create culture, not just critique it'. Lawhead's novels, he explains, present a raw and authentic portrayal of Christianity in a world filled with conflict and mystery. This approach sets it apart from the saccharine and sanitized depictions often seen in media today.
The trailer teases a visually stunning and emotionally charged narrative, leaving viewers eager to explore this reimagined Arthurian tale. The series stars Tom Sharp as Merlin, alongside a talented ensemble cast including Rose Reid, James Arden, Finney Cassidy, and more.
This marks a significant expansion for The Daily Wire, which has previously ventured into feature films and animated series. 'The Pendragon Cycle' is a testament to the company's ambition to explore the realm of television, with Boreing and Ben Shapiro as co-founders. The series is produced in collaboration with various production houses, ensuring a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
As the trailer suggests, 'The Pendragon Cycle' promises to be a captivating blend of historical drama, fantasy, and a thought-provoking exploration of ancient mythology. The question remains: Will this series become a cultural phenomenon or a mere blip in the media landscape? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: it has already sparked curiosity and excitement among fans of fantasy and historical drama alike.
