EXCLUSIVE: Claire Forlani and Peter Mooney round out the main cast of Starz’s 10-episode drama series Camelot, joining previously cast Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Jamie Campbell Bower and Tamsin Egerton. Written by Michael Hurst and Chris Chibnall, the series – to be co-produced and distributed worldwide by Graham King’s GK-TV – is a fresh take on the tale of King Arthur (Bower). Paradigm-repped Forlani will play Arthur’s mother, Queen Igraine, while SMS-repped Mooney will play Kay, Arthur’s brother and right-hand man. Filming on Camelot is starting this week in Ireland for an early 2011 premiere on Starz. Forlani also is set to film indies Deauville and Crossmaglen.

what’s next? A 10 episode retelling of “Fiddler On The Roof”?
that’s a great idea. Steve Carrell as tevye! i smell greenlight!
This shit gets greenlit, while “Party Down” is on the verge of death?
Starz – “Party Down” is a hit with us kids. The buzz is building as we’re discovering it on Netflix. I just found it myself and love it. Showing it to friends, they love it too. Give it another season fuckers. NOW.
WE WILL SUPPORT IT, JUST GIVE IT TIME.
QFT! If Starz promoted Party Down as half as much as Spartacus, then it would be receiving the recognition it deserved!
And if Camelot is not as high-brow as the Tudors, then it might be rather entertaining as Spartacus.
Been reading your blog now for quite a long time and really like it. I don’t know if it’s your style or not , but do you think you could perhaps do a post on the oil spill in the gulf?
I love your thoughts and opinions, and would love to see your commentary on this sad tragedy.
That’s stupid. I’m guessing she’s anti-spill.
Is this the same Michael Hurst who created and was showrunner of The Tudors? If so, that’s awesome….
Hot cast! Love it.
Amazing cast. Can’t wait for this. If they can re-tell the Wizard of Oz in a cool way on SyFy, and make Spartacus interesting again, why not this?
I am not watching this horrible show.
Will Camelot be as dreaful as it sounds? Stay tuned.
If this show is half as awesome as Spartacus, I’m in!
Spartacus was a thoroughly enjoyable production. Here’s hoping there is, indeed, a second season. Starz is getting better all the time. Looking forward to “Pillars of The Earth” and “Camelot.”
Its great that a cable channel is doing this series. I only wish that the producers and directors would have based their scrip on more serious material; although Mallory is good reading, there are better books on dark age Britain such as Isabella Duncan’s The Return of the Eagle or Jack Whyte’s Camulod Chronicles.
Good series, it’s as well done as Spartacus. I really like series with an historical setting, I’m bored with all that stuff just for kids, adults do wtach tv sometimes, even with 50 hour workweeks!

Absolutely love this show, especially Joseph Fiennes (my favorite), I hope he is comming back to the show. And who was the idiot that killed off Leontes? What a speciman of a man to look at….Now he (Winchester) should be playing the role of Arthur. Jaimie Campbell Bower is OK, but Winchester would still be on the show.
