Discovery Channel has released a trailer for "Harley and The Davidsons," an upcoming three-part miniseries that stars "Game of Thrones" actor Michiel Huisman, which chronicles the birth of the legendary American motorcycle company, Harley-Davidson.

Huisman acts alongside former kid actor Bug Hall (The Little Rascals) and fellow "Game of Thrones" actor Robert Aramayo (a.k.a. the young Ned Stark) in the fact-based cable drama, which centers on three young entrepreneurs from Milwaukee, Wisconsin -- two brothers and their best friend -- who helped established the American motorcycle culture in 1903 by creating one of the greatest motorcycle companies in history.

Directed by TV helmer Ciaran Donnelly (Vikings, The Tudors), "Harley and The Davidsons" is set to air over three nights, beginning Monday, September 5 through Wednesday, September 7 on the Discovery network.

synopsis:
A Harley-Davidson is more than a motorcycle. It is a symbol of Americana, built from the ground up by founders Walter and Arthur Davidson and their friend Bill Harley. But the road to success was not exactly smooth -- it was filled with innumerable obstacles, ruthless competitor,s and extraordinary risks. Together these three young men, the sons of blue-collar immigrants, gave everything they had to ensure the survival of the company they founded. But just how far would they go to reach the ultimate American dream?

Based on a true story, Harley and the Davidsons charts the birth of this iconic bike during a time of great social and technological change beginning at the turn of the 20th century. Walter, Arthur and Bill risked their entire fortune and livelihood to launch the budding enterprise. Each of these men faced very different challenges, but it was the motorcycle that united their dreams and ambitions.

Walter, Arthur, and Bill cemented Harley-Davidson's reputation as a builder of bikes that go anywhere, can ride hard and ignore all the rules. It's a legacy that has endured over 100 years -- and at the heart of the brand and its loyal riders.
