Camelot: The Series
Starz, which has scored a hit show with Spartacus, has announced that it will be airing a 10-episode series called "Camelot."
States The Hollywood Reporter, "The 10-episode Camelot, slated to premiere in first-half 2011... uses Thomas Malory's 15th century compilation, "Le Morte d'Arthur," often considered the definitive work on the legend of King Arthur, as a starting point for a take on the tale that looks to weave authenticity into a narrative relatable to contemporary audiences.
"The story of Arthur isn't history, it's mythology, and Camelot isn't a place but an idea of hope that has resonated at different times throughout history," Starz' Chris Albrecht said. He called "Camelot" "a highly entertaining and distinctly original TV program that fits in perfectly with our lineup."
Casting is under way for "Camelot," which will start production in June in Ireland, where "Tudors" and HBO's upcoming "Game of Thrones" also are filmed. Postproduction will be done in Canada.
