11 First Look Images From Upcoming TV Shows

9. Knightfall (Season 2)

Knightfall Mark Hamill
History

A History channel series, Knightfall tells the story of the fall, persecution, and burning at the stake of the Knights Templar at the command of King Philip IV of France in 1307, focusing on fictional Templar leader Landry du Lauzon.

The series will be back for a second season, which will further delve into the search for the Holy Grail, but most excitingly is the addition of Mark Hamill to the cast.

The Star Wars legend will play Talus, a veteran of the Templars who survived captivity for 10 years, and is now back to train new Order initiates. The first image of Hamill was unveiled a couple of weeks ago, and he looks rather brilliant, and not too far away from what Luke Skywalker would look like given another decade on Ahch-To. Knightfall Season 2 is set to be darker and grittier than the first, and will air on History in 2019.
