Tamsin Egerton Promises Sex, Violence, Love & Humor in ‘Camelot’

Tamsin-Egerton-Camelot2

Starz has released a three-minute featurette for their upcoming original re-imagining of the Arthurian legend “Camelot.” Like its ratings champ “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” the series promises sex, violence, and beautiful people.

Peep it:

The show’s official synopsis reads:

In the wake of King Uther’s sudden death, chaos threatens to engulf Britain. When the sorcerer Merlin has visions of a dark future, he installs the young and impetuous Arthur, Uther’s unknown son and heir, who has been raised from birth as a commoner. But Arthur’s cold and ambitious half sister Morgana will fight him to the bitter end, summoning unnatural forces to claim the crown in this epic battle for control.

These are dark times indeed for the new King, with Guinevere being the only shining light in Arthur’s harsh world. Faced with profound moral decisions, and the challenge of uniting a kingdom broken by war and steeped in deception, Arthur will be tested beyond imagination. Forget everything you think you know…this is the story of Camelot that has never been told before.

“Camelot” stars Jaime Campbell Bower as King Arthur, Tamsin Egerton as Guinevere, Claire Forlani as Queen Igraine, Eva Green as Morgana, and Joseph Fiennes as the wizard Merlin. The series begins its ten-episode run on April 1.

Lucy-Lawless-Jaime-Murray

Great Jupiter’s cock!

We are only weeks away from the premiere of the Starz network’s new “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” six-part prequel series “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.” Premiering Jan. 21, the Sam Raimi-produced swords-and-sandals, sexed-up soap will follow Batiatus (John Hannah) and his wife Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) as they strive for power and influence over the city of Capua.

Lucy Lawless, Lesley Ann Brandt, and newcomer Jaime Murray (“Dexter”) discuss their scandalous new show in the following promo clip:

“Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” costars Dustin Clare as the gladiator Gannicus, Jeffrey Thomas as Batiatus’ father Titus, Stephen Lovatt as Tullius, Jessica Grace Smith as slave Diona and Marisa Ramirez as slave Melitta.

Reprising their “Spartacus; Blood and Sand” roles are Peter Mensah (Oenomaus), Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Antonio Te Maioha (Barca), Craig Walsh Washington (Solonius) and Manu Bennett (Crixus).

“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” debuted last January to over a million viewers, making it the Starz network’s most watched program. A second season is slated to air later this fall, however it will sadly not include Andy Whitfield in the titular role due to his ongoing bout with Stage 1 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
