BEYOND is one of the employee resource groups at A+E Networks EMEA that facilitates the discovery of new technologies and trends happening in the digital world.

Following on the critically acclaimed Royal Bastards: Rise of The Tudors for Sky HISTORY, we have re-commissioned 72 Films, a Freemantle company, to make a brand-new 3x60 TV mini-series, Royal Kill List featuring Olivier Award winner Sheila Atim, BAFTA Award winner, Jared Harris, and SAG Award winner, Joseph Fiennes. Royal Kill List, a co-production between A+E Networks EMEA and pay-tv broadcaster Sky, looks back at one of the most seismic events in British royal history. Spanning two decades and played out over three continents, the series reveals how riven and bitterly divided Britain was in the mid-seventeenth century when the fate of the monarchy swung first one way, then the other.    Royal Kill List will premiere on Sky HISTORY in early 2024. https://lnkd.in/d3f4whJz #SharingStoriesThatMatter
