Netflix is leaning hard into thismedieval illusion matter . The first puzzler is out for The Letter for the King , a series that star Andy Serkis andHis Dark Materials ’ Amir Wilson in a tale about a young hero of “ ancient prophecy ” rise up up against a warlord and unite all the realms . block up me if you ’ve heard this one .
In the first tease prevue , revealed byEntertainment Weekly , we hear aDragonheart 3 - esque narrator secernate us of some epical war that the land of Unauwen and Dagonaut have engage on the southerly lands of Eviellan for … reason ? … until a authoritarian ruler from … somewhere ? … does some malefic stuff that micturate affair worsened . But as luck would have it there ’s a divination , because there ’s always a goddamned prognostication .
establish on the novel by Dutch writer Tonke Dragt , The Letter for the King focalise on a young knight - in - training named Tiuri ( Wilson ) who ’s tasked with delivering a secret letter of the alphabet to a queen that ’ll do … something ? I ’m guessing end the war that ’s been going on for thousands of old age , though it ’s unreadable how or why , or even what side this warlord is on . Despite all the representative - over account in this teaser , it ’s very unclear what the shit is in reality move on in this phantasy globe . I ’m sure it makes common sense if you ’ve read the record !

Serkis play the Mayor of Mistrinaut , the scheme leader of a town that ’s fallen on hard times , conspiring with his evenly scheming girl Lavinia ( play by Serkis ’ literal - life daughter Ruby Serkis ) . The whole affair look pretty silly and nothing in the teaser makes sensation ( except for the fact that it ’s trying to drive the coattails of The Witcher ) , but you know what : A fleck of harmless kinsperson - friendly merriment set in Medieval times is … fine . dazed , but fine . This is follow from someone who sawA Kid in King Arthur ’s Courtin theaters .
The Letter for the King get on March 20 .
