Fans of the Knights Templar awaiting news on A&E Network's upcoming series, Knightfall, can now check out the latest trailer, released during San Diego Comic-Con. However, an announcement date for the new series based on historical historical elements of the Knights Templar has not been released yet.
Up until now, news on A&E Network's Knightfall has been scant. We know it will air later this year and an earlier trailer was released indicating this. However, since then, nothing new has surfaced about the show based on the Knights Templar. Of course, now that it is Comic-Con weekend, that has changed. Not only has a new trailer been released, but fans attending San Diego Comic-Con can get their photo taken with a Knight Templar, have their valuables protected by a Knightfall-themed storage service, and pick up the comic which is a prequel to the television series.
But, what is Knightfall really about? Entertainment Weekly has released the following synopsis for Knightfall.
"[Knightfall] picks up in 1306, toward the end of the Templars' run as one of the most powerful organizations in the Christian world. Thanks to the bloody battles of the Crusades, the Templars are losing allies at the same time they're gaining enemies, such as the King of France. With the help of a special sword and the knowledge that the Holy Grail is somewhere in France, the Templars bet everything on this grand quest."
