The Viacom-owned cable network is teaming with executive producer Pierce Brosnan to develop The Crusaders as an event series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
One of the seminal events in history, Spike's event series takes place during the Third Crusade, after the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin's armies. It centers on two different knights who journey from Scotland to the Holy Land for very different reasons. There, bound together in the crucible that is war, politics and betrayal, they will encounter and be forced to overcome, among others, Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, the Hashshashin and ultimately their own personal demons.
