History is teaming up with Jeremy Renner’s production company The Combine and Midnight Radio for a dramatic series based on the Knights Templar and titled Knightfall. The scripted drama from Don Handfield (Kill the Messenger) and Richard Rayner is in development and will be executive produced by Handfield, Rayner, Jeremy Renner, Jeff Pinkner, Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, and Scott Rosenberg.
According to the network, Knightfall will be “chronicling the actual events leading up to and following the persecution, downfall and burning at the stake of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th, 1307. […] Friday the 13th is known as a cursed day over 700 years later because of this event.”
History’s other series include American Pickers, American Restoration, Ax Men, Counting Cars, Pawn Stars, Swamp People, and Vikings.
