Kings is an upcoming TV series airing on NBC and Citytv, based on the King David story. The series is set in the modern day metropolis of Shiloh, a city under siege where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan), a brave young soldier, rescues the King's (Ian McShane) son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace.
Suddenly, David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women, including the King's daughter. When he's promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall and there's no telling who will win.[1]
The series is scheduled to premiere March 15, 2009 and will air on Sundays at 8pm. It is being filmed partially at the Apthorp building in New York City, on Broadway between 78th and 79th streets,[2] the Brooklyn Museum, on Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, as well as in and around the The Capitale Building in Downtown New York City on Grand Street and Elizabeth Street.[citation needed] An early review of Green's pilot script called the show "bold, bizarre, fun."[3]
