The Daily Wire has shared a first look at its upcoming series, *The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin*, which is based on Stephen R. Lawhead’s Arthurian fantasy novels.
I’m so excited! The new series is coming to DailyWire+ on January 22nd, and they’re releasing new episodes every Thursday. Even better, if you’re an All Access subscriber, you can watch the first two episodes super early on Christmas Day! It’s going to be a great way to spend the holiday.
Watch the trailer below.
Creative Team, Cast & Production
Jeremy Boreing, who co-founded The Daily Wire, is heading up the series with Jesse V. Johnson and Ryan Whitaker. He’s also an executive producer, alongside Caleb Robinson, Ben Shapiro, Dallas Sonnier, Daniel Kresmery, and a team of other producers.
Filming took place on location in Hungary and Italy. The cast includes:
- Tom Sharp as Merlin
- Rose Reid as Charis
- James Arden as Taliesin
- Finney Cassidy as Aurelius
- Myles Clohessy as Uther
- Brett Cooper as Ganieda
- Alex Laurence Phillips as Pelleas
- Daniel Fathers as King Avallach
- Emree Franklin as Morgian
Other supporting actors include Steve Varnom, Alex Arco, George Osborne, and others.
What the Story Promises
The Pendragon Cycle retells the Arthurian legend, reimagined during a turbulent time in Britain as Roman power fades and Christianity rises. The story explores themes of faith, power, and who people are as the land faces threats from invading barbarians.
According to Boreing, the original novels depict a raw and powerfully masculine form of Christianity set against a backdrop of conflict and intrigue. *Daily Wire* highlights this series as one of their most significant undertakings yet.
According to Boreing, *The Pendragon Cycle* is a remarkably large and ambitious independent series—the result of a decade-long effort to create compelling content rather than simply critique it. Lawhead’s novels offer a raw and powerful depiction of Christianity set in a world filled with conflict and intrigue. It’s a realistic portrayal—not overly sweet or sanitized—that mirrors the complexities of our own world. Boreing expressed excitement about sharing their adaptation and the work of the talented cast and crew with the Daily Wire audience.
Caleb Robinson, CEO of The Daily Wire, expressed excitement about bringing *The Pendragon Cycle* to the company and thanked those who have supported the project. He called it a significant achievement for Daily Wire Entertainment, emphasizing their commitment to delivering high-quality, compelling stories to their audience and their pleasure in finally being able to share it.
Release and Access
The show will premiere on January 22, 2025, only on DailyWire+. New episodes will be released every Thursday, and DailyWire+ All Access members can watch the first two episodes on Christmas Day.
This is Daily Wire’s first major live-action series. It expands the platform’s existing lineup of popular content, which also includes titles like *Run Hide Fight*, *Terror on the Prairie* with Gina Carano, *Am I Racist?*, and *What Is a Woman?*
