Long ago, an order of monastic warriors fought battles in distant lands, until a wealth- and power-grabbing ruler betrayed them and led to their demise. Sound familiar?

They’re not the Jedi of a galaxy far, far away, but rather the Knights Templar of Europe in the Middle Ages. The Templars were a mysterious order of Catholic warriors who were active in the 12th, 13th and early 14th centuries, fighting in the Crusades and defending pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Some legends have them also protecting sacred relics like the Holy Grail.

Now the Templars get to be the tragic heroes of their own story in History’s new 10-episode action drama Knightfall, starring Tom Cullen (Downton Abbey) as Landry, a disgruntled Templar who becomes the unlikely leader of the order at a crucial point in its history.

“I think he’s always been kind of a headstrong maverick,” Cullen says of Landry. “When we meet him in Paris 16 years after his last battle, he’s this caged animal.”

That caged animal is released at a critical time for the Templars.

There is evidence that the Holy Grail, thought to be lost forever, may be in France. A growing feud between the French monarchy and the church threatens to split the Templars’ loyalties. And Landry’s own heart is torn between his order’s chaste ideals and an illicit romantic affair that could endanger his life and the Templars’ existence.

“When Landry’s made leader, his entire life is thrown into question,” Cullen says. “He’s the kind of guy who’s incredibly loyal to his brothers, yet he’s lying to them all about the fact that he’s having an affair with a woman. He’s somebody who’s incredibly pious, yet he’s somebody who is exercising his lack of faith and exploring his humanity. He’s somebody who’s fiercely brave and headstrong, yet he’s afraid of dying. He’s somebody who’s really polarized. Throughout the series, he’s constantly battling with himself back and forth trying to figure out who he is. It’s a hell of a journey to watch, and it’s a hell of a journey to play.”

And most importantly, laugh a lot along the way,” he says.

As Washington Post executive editor from 1968-91, Ben Bradlee was largely credited with taking down President Richard Nixon in 1974 after the Post broke the Watergate story and exposed the largest political scandal in American history. Told primarily in Bradlee’s own words, The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee is an intimate portrait of this formidable man, tracing his remarkable ascent from a young Boston boy stricken with polio to one of the most pioneering and consequential journalistic figures of the 20th century.

NEW MINISERIES!

This three-part thriller is based on the real-life 17th-century events that led to Guy Fawkes Day. Game of Thrones heartthrob Kit Harington stars as Robert Catesby, who was the driving force behind the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 London and a committed Catholic at a time when Protestant England persecuted Catholics relentlessly. Catesby’s refusal to abandon his religion brings him to the edge of financial, social and psychological ruin.

Harington, who is also a co-executive producer on the show, is a descendant of Catesby and began co-creating the project three years ago. “We are now thrilled to share this unique story with the U.S. audience,” Harington says.

Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy (PG-13, 1:46) Available Beginning Dec. 19

Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan did not want to use CGI when he didn’t have to, so he used cardboard cutouts of soldiers and military vehicles to create the illusion of a large army. Three hundred twenty-five extras were used for filming the troops on the beach, and the cardboard cutouts were strategically placed to make it look like a bigger crowd.
