NEW Genre: Fantasy drama Available: Friday 17 July Season: 1 Episodes: 10 Runs: 47-60min
The legend of King Arthur has been told countless times, but this new fantasy drama shows there is plenty of life left in the ancient tale by reimagining it from the perspective of the ill-fated Lady of the Lake.
Adapted from an illustrated novel, the story follows Nimue (13 Reasons Why’s Katherine Langford) – a young woman with powerful magical abilities – who is forced to flee when her village is destroyed and her mother is killed by the puritanical Red Paladins.
‘Nimue embarks on an epic journey,’ says Langford, 24. ‘On one hand, she’s going through great personal loss and growth, and then she also has the greater challenge of overcoming adversity.
