Britannia: Series 2 (2019)
Friday 14th February 2020
Ruthless romans, drugged-up Druids and capricious Celts... welcome to Britannia. Olivier award-winning playwright Jez Butterworth (The Ferryman) pens this rich historical series that blends fact and fantasy to create a fever-dream drama. Recently returning for its second series on Sky Atlantic, Britannia Series II comes to DVD and digital from Acorn Media International on 10th February 2020 alongside a Series I & II Box Set.
Series one begins in 43AD, as Roman General Aulus Plautius (David Morrissey - The Missing) arrives in Britannia, determined to conquer it where Julius Caesar lost to the Druids 90 years earlier. He leverages rivalries between Celtic tribes: the Regnii led by Queen Antedia (Zoë Wanamaker - Harry Potter), and the Cantii led by the aging King Pellenor (Ian McDiarmid - Star Wars).
As Cantii royal siblings Phelan (Julian Rhind-Tutt - Harlots) and Kerra (Kelly Reilly - True Detective) vie over their right to the throne, there are greater forces at work. High Druid Veran (Mackenzie Crook - Detectorists) summons spirits with gruesome rituals to achieve his own ends, while chosen child Cait (Eleanor Worthington-Cox - Gwen) seeks to fulfil a prophecy with the help of demon-possessed madman Divis (Nikolaj Lie Kaas - The Killing).
The second series follows two years later as the Roman hold over Britannia grows stronger and while some Celts continue the fight to reclaim their land, others are happy to be Romanised rather than face extinction. But when a dead man wakes, it triggers an epic battle of wills between two Druid brothers that puts everyone in danger, and jeopardises Cait's chances at saving Britannia from the Romans once and for all...
