variety.comKing and Conqueror” has revealed additional cast members, including “The Crown’s” Luther Ford and “Game of Thrones” actor Joseph Mawle, as it begins production in Iceland.
According to its official plot description, “King and Conqueror” is “the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea.
Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.” Additional cast members include Eddie Marsan (“The Power,” “Ray Donavan”), Juliet Stevenson (“Truly Madly Deeply,” “Riviera”), Jean-Marc Barr (“The Big Blue,” “American Translation”), Geoff Bell (“Absentia,” “The Curse”), Elliot Cowan (“Black Cake,” “Foundation”), Bo Bragason (“Renegade Nell,” “The Radleys”), Bjarne Henriksen (“Borgen,” “The Killing”), Oliver Masucci (“Dark,” “Look Who’s Back”) and Clare Holman (“Inspector Morse,” “Lewis”).
They join the previously announced James Norton as Harold, Earl of Wessex; Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as William, Duke of Normandy; Emily Beecham as Edith Swan-neck, Harold of Wessex’s wife; and Clémence Poésy as Matilda, William of Normandy’s wife.
