Game of Thrones features a multitude of captivating characters with equally intriguing narratives, but few come close to Jaime Lannister’s redemption journey, which was performed by actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Even before he took on the role of the Kingslayer, Coster-Waldau was a household figure in Hollywood. His upcoming adventure will once again take him to the medieval period, in the series King and Conqueror.

The cast of CBS Studios’ period drama series King and Conqueror will be led by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Happy Valley’s James Norton.
