The eagerly awaited historical production King & Conqueror has revealed its first images, unveiling the stunning costumes of its stars, a creation by costume designer Margrét Einarsdóttir.
The series, which will premiere in 2025 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, features a stellar cast led by James Norton as Harold, Earl of Wessex, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as William, Duke of Normandy.
They are joined by Emily Beecham as Edith Swan-neck and Clémence Poésy as Matilda. The costumes, inspired by the aesthetics and symbology of the period, seek to reflect the power and complexity of the historical characters in this epic story.
King & Conqueror is produced by The Development Partnership, Rabbit Track Pictures, Shepherd Content, RVK Studios and CBS Studios, in association with the BBC. The script by Michael Robert Johnson, with acclaimed director Baltasar Kormákur helming the first episode.
The costume designer has painstakingly recreated every piece, from battle armour to courtly attire, transporting viewers to the heart of 11th century England and Normandy. We are proud to have participated in this project with our costumes.
