Sophie Turner recently confirmed the very upsetting release date for Game of Thrones season 8 [1], and while we've tried to keep busy by reading all the theories we could find [2], it's been a tough time without our weekly dose of hot sex scenes [3] and cliffhangers [4]. However, if you've been aimlessly flipping through the channels for the past couple of months, we've got great news: there's a new show in TV town, and it's already been dubbed as "the new Game of Thrones."

Set in AD 43, Britannia is a 10-part British historical period drama that follows the "Roman army as they return to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia, a mysterious land led by warrior women and powerful Druids who claim to channel the powerful forces of the underworld." The cast includes Kelly Reilly (Sherlock Holmes, Pride & Prejudice, True Detective) and David Morrissey (Sense & Sensibility, Nowhere Boy, The Walking Dead [5]), and this new fantasy show promises epic battles that will fill the Westeros-shaped gap in your heart.

Watch the trailer ahead, and catch all the episodes of Britannia on Sky Atlantic [6] and NOW TV [7].
