Set in 43 AD, the big-budget historical fantasy reimagines the Roman conquest of Britain, which at the time was occupied by various warring tribes. The invasion of a foreign army catapulted the factions into chaos, testing their allegiances and challenging their ideas about whom to call friend or foe. Former Celtic rivals Kerra (Kelly Reilly) and Regni Queen Antedia (Zo\u00eb Wanamaker) find themselves joining forces to fight a common enemy, a legion of Roman interlopers led by Aulus Plautius, played by David Morrissey. <em>Britannia<\/em> brings to life what happened when these forces\u00a0from opposite sides of the world met, coloring the fictionalized realm with Druids, demons and prophecies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Richardson, co-creator and executive producer of the historical drama Britannia, talks about the story arc for season two and what viewers can expect from its new and returning characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[92,1181,3442,304],"class_list":["post-12205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amazon-prime-video","tag-britannia","tag-james-richardson","tag-sky-atlantic","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
