"....Musketeers III is locked and loaded."

A Field Not in England

That's a lock on the season finale of Musketeers III! Apart from some last minute ADR our show running duties are at an end. It's been a relentless year of making the show our own from the ground up, reinvigorating existing characters, creating new concepts and many new characters, story lining, writing, rewriting, overwriting, attending the shoots, being there on the edits, taking calls at every hour of the day and night, constantly collaborating with a massive cast and crew, giving notes, taking notes and you know what? I've loved every minute.

We have ten epic, emotional hours to share with you later in the year and we couldn't be more excited. Season III sees our heroes at the heart of a wartorn Paris that's become a crucible of unrest, injustice and inequality. And that's before they get round to dealing with our FOUR (count them) new villains - Governor Feron (Rupert Everett), leader of the Red Guards Captain Marcheaux (Matt Stokoe), mysterious black market profiteer Lucien Grimaud (Matthew McNulty) and King Louis' treacherous brother Prince Gaston (newcomer Andre Flynn). And then we have the return of Milady de Winter (Maimie McCoy) later in the season which was such a privilege to write and takes a surprising new direction.

The stakes have never been higher. The challenge has never been greater.....

Hold tight!
