The Big Picture Earlier in July, Peacock sent viewers back to the bloody sands of the Roman Colosseum with Season 1 of its new series Those About to Die helmed by Independence Day's Roland Emmerich. The show unfolds around the brutal gladiatorial competitions that entertained the masses while hiding a more complex world of politics and dirty dealings rarely explored.
Regarding whether the series would get that second season to build on those characters, Emmerich instead invoked The Godfather: Part Two, floating the idea of a follow-up that goes back before the events of Season 1 while still driving the characters forward. The events of the past would then catch up with those in the present, particularly Domitian after he takes the title of Emperor.
'Game of Thrones' Inspired Emmerich to Give 'Those About to Die' a Shot Close Emmerich and the team around him pulled from Daniel P. Mannix's book of the same name for Those About to Die. The blockbuster director was able to bring his love for Roman history to the table for half of the first season's episodes while Marco Kreuzpaintner helmed the other five.
