The Winter King Premiere Review | A Bold and Bloody Retelling of the Arthurian Legend

In fifth century Britain at the dawn of the Dark Ages, a vicious and temperamental monarch exiles his bastard son after a tragic loss in battle. The Winter King, adapted from The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell, is a bold and bloody retelling of the Arthurian legends. A written prologue sets the stage as warring tribes of Christians and Pagans struggle to unite against formidable Saxon invaders. The premiere of this new MGM+ series gets down to savage business early with a brutal opening scene. You're hooked from the start as the protagonist's journey begins on a truly harsh note.
