The studio announced Monday that the show had wrapped filming of its first season in New Zealand and will be premiering on September 2, 2022. Amazon announced the news alongside the first official image from the series, which will have a weekly release schedule.
Here's the first look at the upcoming series:
The series' full cast, which includes two "Game of Thrones" actors, was previously announced in January 2020, Insider's Jacob Sarkisian previously reported.
Per Deadline's new report, the ensemble will be headlined by: Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.
The show, which doesn't have a title yet, has been developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, who also serve as coshowrunners and two of the series' executive producers.
The Hollywood Reporter estimated shortly after Amazon's deal was announced in November 2017 that the show, which is expected to run for five seasons, could cost $1 billion in its entirety - which would make it far and away the most expensive TV show of all time.
