DA VINCI'S DEMONS TEASER
And here's something we've been waiting for a long time - the first teaser trailer for Starz new epic show DA VINCI'S DEMONS which should start airing some time next year. Starring Tom Riley as the title character, the new show is a historical fantasy, following the ‘untold’ story of the world’s greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Brilliant and passionate, the twenty-five year old Leonardo Da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it. The series also stars gorgeous Laura Haddock who plays the celebrated beauty with obscure motives, Lucrezia Donati, dashing Elliot Cowan who plays the shrewd de factor ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici, Lara Pulver who plays his wife Clarice Orsini and brilliant Blake Ritson (he was amazing as the king in “World Without End”) as Pope Sixtus’ ruthless bastard son, Count Riari!
