Those About to Die is a 2024 epic drama series set in ancient Rome developed by Robert Rodat, and directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) and Marco Kreuzpaintner.
A new series set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties.
The cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Dimitri Leonidas, Jojo Macari, Gabriella Pession, Iwan Rheon, Sara Martins, Moe Hashim, and Tom Hughes.
Those About to Die is set to debut July 18th only on Peacock. Watch the official trailer below.
