About the Show
Created by Adrian Hodges, The Musketeers is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality. More than King Louis XIII’s personal bodyguards, Athos, Aramis and Porthos stand resolutely for social justice, for honor, for valor, for love – and for the thrill of it. Luke Pasqualino (Skins, The Borgias) will star as D’Artagnan alongside Musketeers Tom Burke (Great Expectations, The Hour) as Athos, Santiago Cabrera (Merlin, Heroes) as Aramis and Howard Charles (Royal Shakespeare Company) as Porthos. Together they are a crack-team of highly trained soldiers. The Musketeers, premiering in 2014, is a BBC Drama Production for BBC One, co-produced by BBC America and BBC Worldwide.

Looks good - I love all these shows that have come out over the last 8-10 years (Rome, Borgia, Tudors, Camelot, Spartucus, Game of Thrones, Hell on Wheels, Copper, etc). Costume Dramas / Historical Fiction - Fantasy are my favorites. Looks like I can add this one to my watch list.

Would love to have HBO, Showtime, Starz put out a Robin Hood series along the lines of Rome or The Tudors.

BBC One has released a trailer for their upcoming ten episode drama series The Musketeers, which is set to premiere in early 2014.

Created by Adrian Hodges, The Musketeers is a new adaptation of the legendary tale of the three musketerrs. The series is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris where law and order is more an idea than reality and follows the three Musketeers: Athos, Aramis and Porthos who are far more than King Louis XIII’s personal bodyguards. They stand resolutely for social justice, for honour, for valour, for love and for the thrill of it. The drama series is being produced by BBC Drama Productions in association with BBC Worldwide & BBC America and stars Luke Pasqualino (Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome), Tom Burke (Great Expectations), Santiago Cabrera (Merlin), Howard Charles, Peter Capaldi (The Hour), Tamla Kari (Cuckoo), Maimie McCoy (Loving Miss Hatto), and Hugo Speer (Bedlam).

I guess that after years of bastardization by US and French productions, it's only fair that our Brit neighbors have a go at it

I am still partial to the campy 1953 version with Bourvil

And the tvseries from 1961

When will we in the US be able to see BBC's The Musketeers?

O.o I didn't even think there was a thread for this show in the regular section. I started one up in the UK TV Shows section, though.

The show's been airing early in some parts of the world, though. Checked the torrent sites and they are supposedly at episode 6 of the new season. It's just amazing how some new seasons air in smaller markets and yet get uploaded.

This was a fantastic series. Looking forward to the season 3 bluray release in the fall.

I got S1 and S2 around the holidays. Since the BBC stuff rarely hits lower than $15/season, I caved and bought them. I think it's a good thing they top this out at 3 seasons, if that is the case.

4 episodes in on season 3 on Hulu.

Season is much darker and so far I think it may be the best.

I admit that I torrented what episodes were up already. Up to episode 6. Things definitely took an interesting twist here and there...if this is the final season, it's surely shaping up to be a memorable one.
