Will: TNT Releases Shakespeare Series Trailer

by Cindy McLennan, September 15, 2016

Will TV show on TNT: season 1 (canceled or renewed?).

To watch or not to watch, that is the question. The answer: Watch the new official Will TV show trailer teaser from TNT. The new unconventional period drama stars newcomer Laurie Davidson as young William Shakespeare, as he begins his storied career. Also starring are Olivia DeJonge, Colm Meaney, Mattias Inwood, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Ewen Bremner.

The first 10-episode season of Will is slated to premiere on TNT in 2017. The series comes from executive producers Craig Pearce, who wrote the pilot; Shekhar Kapur who directed the pilot; Alison Owen; and Debra Hayward. Vince Gerardis, Howard Braunstein, and Louise Rosager also executive produce the series.

Watch TNT’s official trailer teaser of the Will TV series, starring Laurie Davidson as William Shakespeare.

Here is more on Will, from TNT.

Will opens with a young William Shakespeare (Davidson) just arriving onto the punk-rock theater scene in 16th century London. It is in this seductive, violent world that his raw talent faces rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous sideshows. This is the exciting, dangerous and contemporary version of Shakespeare’s life, played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance.

Attracted to Will’s naïve genius is Alice Burbage (DeJonge), the talented, beautiful and rebellious daughter of James Burbage (Meaney), the carpenter with a vision to build the first theater in London since Roman times. Despite being the daughter of an impresario, Alice is forbidden by society from pursuing a career in the theater. Her brother Richard Burbage (Inwood), is innately talented, but too much in love with himself and prone to overact. A chance encounter at the theater leads him to team up with Will in what would soon become the greatest actor-writer partnership the world has ever seen. Rounding out Will’s cast of characters are playwright, poet and chief Shakespeare rival Christopher Marlowe (Bower) and wealthy and notorious law enforcer Richard Topcliffe (Bremner).

“Will has an energy and style that is unlike anything else on television today,” said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. “Shakespeare was a 16th century rock star, and Will perfectly captures in contemporary terms what that must have felt like for the young writer and his fans. We are delighted to be working with such an extraordinary team of executive producers and cast in putting a fresh, bold spin on the story of Shakespeare.”

I am so disappointed that TNT has cancelled this wonderful series. I was so looking forward to the next season. It was so well written, well acted, well thought out and it was a truly fantastic and innovative take on Shakespeare. Maybe the rating was low because it was shown so late at night (Pacific time was 11PM). I often recorded the program and watched it at a different time. Will was my favorite show on television and I looked forward to each episode. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to see more of this fabulous series. I… Read more »

I LOVED this show!!! A wonderfully creative and well acted story that was quite moving at times as well as great fun to watch! I confess to binge watching, because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next! I’m sure William Shakespeare (and Christopher Marlowe) would approve! Hope to see a second season!
