It's 43 AD. And the Roman Army is at war with the Celtic underworld. There's chaos everywhere. Blood is being spilled on the fields of battle. And the world is in utter hell. Welcome to "Britannia!"

Check out the new U.S. trailer for the British action-fantasy series, which features Demons, Gods, Druids, and Roman soldiers as it depicts an epic "Game of Thrones"-like battle between the Roman empire and its Celtic rivals.

The cast is led by David Morrissey (aka The Governor from "The Walking Dead"), Kelly Reilly (from "Flight" and "Sherlock Holmes"), Mackenzie Crook (aka Ragetti from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films), Zoe Wanamaker (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Maleficent), Stanley Weber (Outlander) and Ian McDiarmid (aka Emperor Palpatine from the "Star Wars" franchise).

The ten-episode series is created and written by brothers Jez Butterworth (co-writer of "Spectre" and "Edge of Tomorrow") and Tom Butterworth (television writer of "Tin Star" and "Fortitude") and is produced by former "Star Wars" producer Rick McCallum.

"Britannia" is airing this week in the U.K. on the Sky Atlantic network, but will make its US debut next week on Friday, January 26th through Amazon Prime Video.
