Britannia trailer
There’s a lot to unpack here. Dancing! Guitar riffs! Slow motion blood! Fire! This is obviously a big production, but the trailer is so damn busy that it’s hard to get a read on what the show is going to really be like. Here’s the official Britannia synopsis.
Britannia begins in 43AD as the Roman Army, determined and terrified in equal measure, returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia, a mysterious land ruled by warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the mysterious forces of the Underworld. Arch Celtic rivals Kerra and Antedia must face the Roman invasion led by Aulus Plautius as it cuts a swathe through the Celtic Resistance.
With Game of Thrones not returning for its final season until 2019, there’s a good chance that anyone craving the same style of show might get a kick out of Britannia. Or they might be disappointed about the show’s serious lack of dragons.
Britannia premieres January 26, 2018 on Prime Video.
