This spectacular drama reimagines one of literature's most enduring heroes, the great warrior Beowulf. Featuring an ensemble cast of fascinating and fantastical characters, this epic drama follows Beowulf as he strives to be a man as well as hero, challenging the notions of good and evil, heroes and villains, and the rule of law against one's moral code. Featuring Kieran Bew, William Hurt, Ed Speelers, and Joanne Whalley.


Beowulf After spending many years wandering as a mercenary warrior, Beowulf (Kieran Bew, Da Vinci's Demons) returns to the mythical Shieldlands to pay his respects to the recently deceased Thane Hrothgar (William Hurt, Captain America: Civil War). When Herot is attacked by a terrifying monster, Beowulf has no choice by to hunt it down, winning favor with the new Thane Rheda (Joanne Whalley, Wolf Hall) and the wider community, in the process.

In a place of spectacle and danger populated by both humans and fantastical creatures, Beowulf begins a journey that sees the mighty and capable man slowly reconnect with the notion of family and home.
