Every episode of Briannia season 3 is dropping in August

The third season of off-the-wall English historical drama Britannia gets a release date (for all eight episodes), a synopsis, and a shiny new image.

There sure are a lot of TV shows and movies about the history of England. The Crown is about modern history, The Last Kingdom is about the Saxons and the Danes, and Britannia — which has been running for two years over on Sky Atlantic (Epix if you’re in the US) — goes even further back to just decades after the year 0, when Rome was invading the British Isles.

The colorful series has gained a fanbase over its two seasons, and now, Radio Times reports that all eight episodes of the third season will premiere on Sky Atlantic on Tuesday, August 24. They’ve also got a synopsis to sample:

"Series three sees a radical transformation in Cait’s (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) journey as the Chosen One with a decision that will tie her to the future of her war-torn people and their ravaged land.Aulus (David Morrissey) comes under pressure from a new and dark force – otherwise known as his wife (Sophie Okonedo), whilst Amena finds herself in a lethal Ménage à trois with both of them. Divis gets a new job which he despises, and Veran goes to the underworld and sees the future.Created by the multi-award-winning writers Jez Butterworth, his brother Tom Butterworth and James Richardson. Epic, action packed, full of humour and terrifying in equal measure, Britannia is produced by Vertigo Films and Neal Street Productions in association with Sky Studios."

You can’t tel me that doesn’t sound at least a little intriguing.
