While you wait for Gladiator II to hit theaters, there's a series all about gladiators in Ancient Rome on Peacock called Those About To Die that can fill the Colosseum in your heart and mind. To stay on top of things, here's everything you need to know about the episode release schedule for Those About To Die Season 1.
Like the historical epic film and its upcoming sequel Gladiator II, Those About To Die blends fact and fiction to tell the story of some real figures from that era of history along with some new fictional characters. To bring these old and new figures to life, the cast includes Sir Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs), Sara Martins (Death in Paradise), Moe Hashim (Ted Lasso), and Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones).
The series explores how gladiator battles in Ancient Rome were entertainment and the people in charge of organizing those big fights, races, and spectacles were basically producers. And of course, there's as much revenge and betrayal and love as any story set in such an epic environment.
