It's been a big year for Welsh-filmed television with dramas such as Steeltown Murders, Michael Sheen's The Way and Men Up starring Iwan Rheon, Aneurin Barnard and Alexandra Roach all coming to BBC in 2023. Viewers can also expect Welsh-made BBC drama Wolf to come to the channel later this year, and now ITV has revealed a first look at The Last King.
The new series, which is based on Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles, is a bold and revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legends. Filming took place in Wales and the West Country, with the series premiering on ITVX later this year.
A synopsis reads: "The Winter King is set in the fifth century, long before Britain was united, in a brutal land of warring factions and tribes, where lives were often fleeting. The series follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast to legendary warrior and leader."
