Lawhead, is set to premiere Jan. 22 on DailyWire+, the conservative outlet\u2019s SVOD platform. The show, created and executive produced by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing (who also directed some of the series), is a retelling of Arthurian legend that\u2019s set in the Roman-dominated land that will eventually become Britain during the fourth through sixth centuries. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWatch the trailer below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn a statement, Boreing said The Pendragon Cycle is \u201cthe culmination of a 10-year vision to create culture, not just to criticize it. Lawhead\u2019s novels present a visceral, masculine Christianity in a world of conflict and mystery. It isn\u2019t saccharine or clean. In short, it is very much like our world. I\u2019m so happy to share our adaptation, and the work of our remarkable cast and crew, with the Daily Wire audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe Daily Wire has produced a number of feature films (both scripted and documentary) and a couple of animated series, but The Pendragon Cycle represents the biggest swing for the company, which Boreing founded with Ben Shapiro, in the TV arena. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tTom Sharp stars as Merlin in the series. The cast also includes Rose Reid, James Arden, Finney Cassidy, Myles Clohessy, Brett Cooper, Alex Laurence Phillips, Daniel Fathers and Emree Franklin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBoreing executive produces with Shapiro, Daily Wire CEO Caleb Robinson Dallas Sonnier of Bonfire Legend, Daniel Kresmery of Hero Squared, and Ryan Whitaker for Tirian Films. Producers are Travis Mills, Jonathan Hay, Amanda Presmyk, Jonathan Halperyn, Jerilyn Esquibel, Augusto Pelliccia, Julius Nasso and Lawhead. Whitaker and Jesse V. Johnson also directed episodes of the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Daily Wire has released a trailer for its first live-action scripted series, The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,105925,348],"class_list":["post-219920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-the-daily-wire","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
