A heavily bearded Mark Hamill (of "Star Wars" fame) plays a grizzled Knight Templar veteran who is tasked with retraining a disgraced warrior monk ("Downton Abbey" alum Tom Cullen) in the new official trailer for Season 2 of History Channel's hit medieval drama "Knightfall."
The series, which is created by Don Handfield and Richard Rayner, delves into the shrouded world of the Knights Templar, a Catholic military order known for their involvement in numerous religious wars throughout the medieval period, most notably the Crusades.
Hamill joins the cast of Season 2, playing a new character named Talus. The show mainly revolves around Landry du Lauzon (Cullen), a senior brother of the Knights Templar and a veteran of the Crusades who, after a failed mission to relocate the Holy Grail, is now viewed as a disgraced Holy soldier, yet is given a chance for redemption. He is soon put through a rigorous retraining process led by Hamill's Talus.
Co-starring Ed Stoppard, Padraic Delaney, Simon Merrells, Julian Ovenden, Sam Hazeldine, and Jim Carter, "Knightfall: Season 2" is due to premiere March 25th on the History Channel.
synopsis:
KNIGHTFALL goes inside the medieval politics and warfare of the Knights Templar, the most powerful, wealthy and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages.
The series goes deep into the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks to learn who these knights were, how they lived, and what they died believing. With the historical and ruthless downfall of the Templar Order on the horizon, SEASON TWO focuses on themes such as power, redemption, revenge, betrayal, family, and ultimately an epic war between church and state.
Star Wars' Mark Hamill joins the cast as new character Talus, a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran and initiate master who is tasked with preparing the next generation of men to proudly wear the iconic red cross on their chests and become "God's Executioners."
