Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones fame is set to enter another medieval universe on-screen.Per The Hollywood Reporter, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is set to play William the Conqueror in a new BBC and CBS Studios series titled King and Conquer. Coster-Waldau will play the historical figure William, Duke of Normandy, alongside James Norton, who will play Harold of Wessex. The show itself “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.”The executive added more praise for series creator and executive producer Michael Robert Johnson, saying that “Michael’s scripts offer a bold and fresh take on a story that has endured for nearly 1,000 years, and yet, the themes are as contemporary and relevant as ever. We are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved so far and can’t wait to see it all come to fruition on screen with our star-studded cast.”
