The Big Picture James Norton, who you've probably seen bringing his A-game to dramas like Happy Valley and Grantchester, recently caught up with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt to chat about his emotionally devastating new film, Nowhere Special. During the conversation, he couldn't help but spill some details about his other passion project that’s right up the alley for history buffs — the upcoming TV series King and Conqueror, which is being produced by BBC and CBS Studios.

Norton isn't just starring in the series; he's also producing it through his own company. He explained his dual role with excitement: "For me, it's been a real big one, because I'm producing it as well. So, it's my production company which is making it. I've been developing it for about five years, and we're deep into it. My business partner, Kitty Kaletsky, who runs the company with me, is a brilliant, wonderful, wonderful force of nature.

"So it's the third project we've actually produced. We've made a movie called Rogue Agent, and we've had a TV show which we shot before Christmas called Playing Nice, which is also coming out later this year, or the next year. We don’t exactly know when — probably this year. So, it's one of the many projects which we have on our slate.
