Knightfall is an upcoming historical fiction drama television series on History. It recounts the fall, persecution, and burning at the stake of the Knights Templar, as orchestrated by Pope Clement V and Philip IV of France on Friday, October 13, 1307. The series focuses on Templar leader Sir Landry, a brave warrior discouraged by the Templars' failures in the Holy Land who is reinvigorated by news that the Holy Grail has resurfaced.
Knightfall was picked up for a 10-episode straight-to-series in January 2016, with Jeremy Renner as executive producer and likely guest star.
In January 2016, History announced it had picked up Knightfall for a 10-episode straight-to-series, executive produced by and likely guest starring Jeremy Renner. British writer-producer Dominic Minghella will serve as showrunner and executive producer of Knightfall. The series was conceived by Renner's production partner Don Handfield and Los Angeles-based British writer and journalist Richard Rayner, who will serve as executive producers along with Renner. Other executive producers on the series include Jeff Pinkner, André Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, and Scott Rosenberg.
The production started with three days of filming during the last week of June in Dubrovnik on Croatia's southern Adriatic coast, with Douglas Mackinnon (Outlander) as director. Set mainly around the Walls of Dubrovnik's Fort Lovrijenac (St. Lawrence Fortress) and the bay of Pile, these scenes will depict The Siege of Acre. PAKT Media is offering services, and over 140 Croatian film workers will be involved with the production.
