The Musketeers is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality. More than King Louis XIII’s personal bodyguards, Athos, Aramis and Porthos stand resolutely for social justice, for honor, for valor, for love – and for the thrill of it. Luke Pasqualino (Skins, The Borgias) will star as D’Artagnan alongside Musketeers Tom Burke (Great Expectations, The Hour) as Athos, Santiago Cabrera (Merlin, Heroes) as Aramis, Howard Charles (Royal Shakespeare Company) as Porthos and Peter Capaldi (The Thick of It, The Hour) as Cardinal Richelieu.
The Musketeers, 10 part series premieres January 2014.
