It's a clash of Netflix stars! Aimee Lou Wood, known for her role as Aimee Gibbs in "Sex Education," and Nicola Coughlan, known for her portrayal of Penelope Featherington in "Bridgerton," go head-to-head in a medieval showdown in this uproarious British romp.

Check out the official international trailer for the absurdly satirical British medieval spoof, "Seize Them!" directed by Curtis Vowell ("Baby Done") and written by British comedy writer Andy Riley (of "Veep" and "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" fame).

Set in the Dark Ages, this British comedy sees Aimee Lou Wood as Queen Dagan, who is far from regal and rather bumbling and clueless. She witnesses her kingdom being overthrown by a ruthless rebel army led by the fierce revolutionary named Humble Joan, played by Nicola Coughlan. Queen Dagan is compelled to flee her castle and becomes a fugitive in the woods. Along her journey to regain power, she encounters a motley crew of peculiar peasants who are eventually convinced to aid her in her quest.

Seemingly drawing inspiration from the comedic stylings of Monty Python, the film boasts a strong supporting cast that includes Nick Frost, Paul Kaye, James Acaster, Jessica Hynes, Lolly Adefope, and more.

"Seize Them!" is scheduled to open in the U.K. on April 5th, while the U.S. release date has yet to be announced. Watch the trailer, above.
