The stars of Spike TV’s ‘Tut’

Spike TV will air the event series Tut over three nights beginning July 19, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT and ending on July 21st. The dramatic summer miniseries, which has just offered up its second trailer, has Avan Jogia (Victorious, Twisted) as King Tutankhamun and Sir Ben Kingsley as his adviser, Vizier.

The cast of Tut also includes Kylie Bunbury, Sibylla Deen, Nonso Anozie, and Alexander Siddig.

Tut was directed by David Von Ancken (Salem) and written by Michael Vickerman, Peter Paige, and Bradley Bredeweg.

The Plot:

Spike’s Tut recounts, for the first time on television, a dramatized saga of one of history’s most extraordinary rulers, Tutankhamun aka King Tut, his rise to power and his struggle to lead Egypt to glory, while his closest advisors, friends and lovers scheme for their own nefarious interests. Thrust into power after the murder of his father, Tut (Jogia) is forced to marry his strong willed, ambitious half-sister (Deen) in order to maintain the dynasty.

In love with a commoner (Bunbury), he struggles to protect her from the jealous queen. And although Tut rules as Pharaoh, he is exploited by a shrewd Grand Vizier (Kingsley), a ruthless military General (Anozie) and a scheming High Priest (Siddig) who look down on him as someone they can control. But through unexpected twists and turns, Tut strives to overcome the odds, rising from a manipulated prince into an unlikely hero who triumphs over his enemies both from within and without leading his kingdom to glory.
