Thanks to Steffan for the heads up.
Discovery’s first scripted mini-series, announced last year, is based on Charlotte Gray’s book Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike. Her tale brings to life the story of six strangers and their collective fight for survival and wealth in a small, frontier town in the remote Klondike.
Klondike follows the lives of two childhood best friends, Bill and Epstein, in the late 1890s as they flock to the gold rush capital in the untamed Yukon Territory. This man-versus-nature tale places our heroes in a land full of undiscovered wealth, but ravaged by harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters including greedy businessmen, seductive courtesans and native tribes witnessing the destruction of their people and land by opportunistic entrepreneurs.

ReplyDeleteChris Cooper is not in project anymore. He dropped out, and was replaced by Sam Shepard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for info.
ReplyDeleteHere are some promo cast shots as well.
Looks like a great cast! I never heard anything about this series, but that might be a good thing. Some of the pilots I watched this year I felt like I had already seen it all in the promo´s.
ReplyDeleteI´ll give this a try!!
Richard Madden!:-) I am definitely going to at least try this because of him. I need my Richard Madden fix after loosing him on GoT so rudely. The rest of the cast also isn't too shabby, so it could be good.
