Fox Is Developing a King Arthur Cop TV Series Because Hollywood Is Crazy
Fox has come up with a crazy idea for a TV series based on King Arthur with a twist. The twist is, it's a cop show. The series is called Camelot, and according to THR, it "reimagines the legendary stories of King Arthur in a police procedural." The report goes on to offer up the following plot summary:
When an ancient magic reawakens in modern-day Manhattan, a graffiti artist named Art must team with his best friend Lance and his ex, Gwen — an idealistic cop — in order to realize his destiny and fight back against the evil forces that threaten the city.
Camelot was created by Dan Frey and Ru Sommer, and they will write and produce the project with Gail Berman and Joe Earley. This series seems like it will follow the same kind of formula that we've seen with Sleepy Hallow and Lucifer, only this one will focus on the legendary King Arthur, and it sounds completely bonkers.
King Arthur is hot right now as we've got a new Guy Ritchie film coming out soon called King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and then there's Transformers: The Last Knight, which will implement the legend of Arthur into its story. Now we've got Camelot.
This is a crazy idea that could turn out to be fun and entertaining or a complete dud. What do you think of this King Arthur cop series?
