Ben Barnes and Michael Raymond-James star in The History Channel’s limited series Sons of Liberty. The six-part series is directed by Kari Skogland and will air over three consecutive nights, beginning on January 25, 2015.

Ben Barnes plays Sam Adams, Michael Raymond-James is Paul Revere, Rafe Spall stars as John Hancock, and Ryan Eggold is Joseph Warren. Henry Thomas is John Adams, Marton Csokas plays Thomas Gage, Emily Berrington is Margaret Gage, Dean Norris plays Benjamin Franklin, and Jason O’Mara stars as George Washington.

The Synopsis: The six-part miniseries follows a defiant and radical group of young men – Sam Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Joseph Warren – as they band together in secrecy to change the course of history and make America a nation. Calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, they light the spark that ignited a revolution. Though their names have become American legend, this group of young rebels didn’t start off as noble patriots in powdered wigs. They were a new American generation of young men from varied backgrounds struggling to find purpose in their lives. They were looking for equality, but they found something greater: Independence.
