Kings
Created by Michael Green
On NBC
A dark, ambitious reimagining of biblical power struggles in a contemporary royal setting, built on dynastic intrigue and forbidden desire rather than comfort.
A riveting drama about a modern day monarchy, a contemporary re-telling of the timeless tale of David and Goliath. This series is an epic story of greed and power, war and romance, forbidden loves and secret alliances -- and a young hero who rises to power in a modern-day kingdom.
