Spike TV released the first trailer for its upcoming limited series event “Tut,” starring Ben Kingsley and Avan Jogia, on Thursday.
The six-hour, three-night drama is set to air from July 19 to July 21 with additional cast members Nonso Anozie, Alexander Siddig, Iddo Goldberg and Sibylla Deen.
“Tut” tells the story of Egypt’s most famous pharaoh, Tutankhamun (King Tut), his rise to power and his struggle to lead Egypt.
“‘Tut’ opens up a fascinating window into a world filled with heartbreaking romance, epic battles, political backstabbing, conspiracy, jealousy and even murder — proving his world was not far removed from our own — and that his reign as the youngest Egyptian king played out as a real-life drama for the ages,” the official statement said.
