Kit looks dashing in Gunpowder too...

The three-part drama will air on BBC One in a primetime Saturday night slot this fall. The fast-paced period thriller relates the famous story of the ‘Gunpowder Plot’, a 17th-century conspiracy to blow up the British House of Lords in an attempt to assassinate King James I.

The cast also includes Peter Mullan, Edward Holcroft, Shaun Dooley, Robert Emms, Derek Riddell and Mark Gatiss. The teaser follows a trail of gunpowder into a cellar where Cullen’s Fawkes sits, apparently alone, until the camera pans to reveal Harington behind him!
