TNT has released a new trailer for "WILL," the new musical period drama about legendary playwright William Shakespeare, which takes place during his so-called "lost years," which is an obscure period in his life right before he wrote and published his much-celebrated masterpieces.

British newcomer Laurie Davidson stars as a young William Shakespeare, who in the series is a struggling actor and playwright who has just arrived in 16th-century London, and is looking for his first big break in the village's wild theater scene.

The 10-episode drama, created by screenwriter Craig Pearce (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby), is also starring Jamie Campbell Bower (Twilight), Colm Meaney (Hell on Wheels), Olivia DeJonge (The Visit), Mattias Inwood (The Shanara Chronicles), and Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer).

Acclaimed director Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age) helms the pilot episode of "WILL," which is set to premiere July 10th on TNT.

synopsis:
A drama about the lost years of young William Shakespeare after his arrival to London in 1589 -- when theatre was like rock and roll and a young man with a dream changed the world with his words. Newcomer Laurie Davidson plays the title role in this period drama told in a bold, contemporary style and played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all of Shakespeare's recklessness, lustful temptations, and tortured brilliance.
