As sister station A&E concentrates on “reality” programming, History is increasing its scripted offerings. They’ve already had some success in the ratings with Vikings and Six. Now, they’re introducing another bellicose drama, the Knightfall TV show, from executive producer Jeremy Renner. Will it prove to be a success? Will Knightfall be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Set in the Middle Ages, Knightfall tells the story of the Knights Templar. The scripted History drama stars Tom Cullen, Pádraic Delaney, Simon Merrells, Olivia Ross, Ed Stoppard, Sabrina Bartlett, Julian Ovenden, Jim Carter, Bobby Schofield, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Sam Hazeldine, and Nasser Memarzia. Years after the Templars lose their last Holy Land stronghold, their dying Master Commander points them to the possible location of the Holy Grail. Whether they’re waging war in the Holy Land or in conflict with the king, they are rushing headlong toward the eventual demise of the Templar Order.

12/28/17 update: Knightfall has reportedly been renewed for a second season. Details here.
I absolutely love the period type shows. I hope that Knightfall is renewed. I have loved every episode!
Loved this show tremendously even if I’ve watched it quite late. I can’t wait for season 2. Greatly anticipating….
Keep it
Loved the show only thing I watch on TV, six, knighfall, and Vikings please keep them on only thing worth watching on TV besides sports and tbn channel, could cut back on some of the sex scenes in the shows just leave it to your imagination!!!!!
Please give us at least two more seasons of Knightfall! Historical TV dramas are so much more entertaining then seeing the “staged reality” of who is in the Kardashian’s bedroom this week!
Please bring Knightfall back for season two!
I liked the show a lot but the season finale was a huge disappointment. I especially liked the way plots did not take long to come to light. hope it returns.
