15 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2017
10. Gunpowder
Gunpowder. Treason. Plot.
This upcoming BBC miniseries is expected to have the lot, telling the story of the infamous plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I back in 1605. Tom Cullen will play the notorious Guy Fawkes, but Game of Thrones' Kit Harington has the starring role as the lesser-known Robert Catesby - the man who actually devised the plot.
The great cast also includes Mark Gatiss, Peter Mullan, and Liv Tyler, and is being described as a "fast-paced 17th Century thriller". It'll run for three episodes, and comes from Ronan Bennett (Public Enemies, Top Boy).
Air Date: TBC (but if it doesn't start (or end) on November 5, what's even the point?!)
