Next month, NBC is launching a brand-new drama revolving around a modern, yet fictional, royal family. Aptly named ‘Kings’, the series stars Chris Egan (“Eragon”) as David Shepherd, a soldier who saves the king’s son and is thrust into the middle of intrigue, secret alliances and the inner workings of a kingdom.
Ian McShane (“Deadwood”) is King Silas Benjamin, the monarch of Gilboa, who must deal with the sudden rise of a hero. The tale takes elements from the story of David, Goliath and King Saul, and places them in a modern setting.
‘Kings’ is produced by Michael Green (“Heroes”), Erwin Stoff (“I Am Legend”) and Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”). Lawrence directed the pilot episode which will air on Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 8/7 CST on NBC.
