Sky has secured a raft of global buyers – including HBO and Starz – for its new original series “Britannia,” a “Game of Thrones”-like drama set in Britain under Roman rule 2,000 years ago.
The show was co-produced with Amazon, which will launch it Friday in the U.S. HBO has acquired it for several of its European services, including in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, and Spain, while Starz has it for the Middle East. The iFlix streaming service bought rights for Africa, and pay-TV platform Foxtel has it for Australia. Sony has home entertainment rights across multiple territories.

I loved season 1 of Britannia and eagerly look forward to season 2. I even joined Amazon Prime for it. Awesome show with cast of great actors. I love this type of time-period movies.
